    Step 1

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth. If you prefer sweeter pancakes, mix in the sugar as well.

    Step 2

    Heat a non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the pan.

    Step 3

    Pour a ladleful of pancake batter into the pan, tilting it to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.

    Step 4

    Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown. Flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

    Step 5

    Remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.

    Step 6

    Serve warm with your choice of fillings, such as jam, whipped cream, or even savory ingredients like cheese and ham.
