Fluffy No-Butter Pancakes

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

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

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

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.

Pour 1/4 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 the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
