Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Allow the pancake batter to rest for 5-10 minutes.
Preheat a griddle over medium-low heat and grease with butter.
Pour batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.
Flip pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Continue cooking remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in the oven.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
