McDonald’s Style Pancakes

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

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a bit of butter.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
