For the Pancakes:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 ¼ cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Serve: Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes
Don’t overmix the batter for light and fluffy pancakes. Lumps are perfectly fine!
For extra fluffiness, let the batter sit for a couple of minutes before cooking.
