Classic Fluffy Pancake

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

In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully blended.

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 it with cooking spray or a little butter.

Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet for one pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
