Old Fashioned Pancakes

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
