Easy Fluffy Pancakes

Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 5: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.

Step 6: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
