Prepare the Ingredients: Measure out all your ingredients before starting. This ensures a smooth cooking process.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix!
Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Cook the Pancakes: Use a tablespoon to drop small spoonfuls of batter onto the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
