Fluffy Pancakes for One

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

In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

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

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is bubbling, pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
