No Butter Fluffy Pancakes

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

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until blended.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are okay.

Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of vegetable oil if necessary.

Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle 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 an additional 1-2 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
