Instructions

Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix together until all ingredients are well combined and form a smooth batter.
Heat the skillet: Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is properly heated before adding the batter to achieve the best results.
Cook the pancakes: Scoop about ⅓ cup of the pancake batter into the center of the skillet. Let it cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges turn golden brown, typically 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat the process: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same way. Place cooked pancakes on a plate and keep them warm by covering with a clean towel while finishing the batch.
Serve: Serve the warm pancakes with butter, maple syrup, and your favorite fresh fruit. Enjoy your fluffy homemade pancakes fresh off the pan!

Notes

For an even golden top, avoid oiling or buttering the skillet prior to cooking if you have a high-quality nonstick pan.
If your skillet is not nonstick, lightly oil or butter it to prevent pancakes from sticking.
You can customize by adding blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter before cooking.
Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated or frozen for quick reheating.
