Fluffy Single-Serving Pancakes

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour the batter into the pan, forming a pancake about 4 inches in diameter.

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.

Remove the pancake from the skillet and repeat with any remaining batter if desired.
