Fluffy Pancakes for Two

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

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

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

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional butter or oil if necessary.

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 another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
