Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Batter:**
– In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
– Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Add the vanilla extract if using.
– Mix until smooth, but be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.
2. **Preheat the Skillet:**
– Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
3. **Cook the Pancakes:**
– Pour or scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
– Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes.
– Flip with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
4. **Serve:**
– Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
