Preheat your waffle iron if making waffles. If making pancakes, preheat a nonstick griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
In a blender, add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract first to help the blending process. Then add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar on top.
Blend on low speed for 10-15 seconds until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, but avoid over-mixing.
For waffles, lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a bit of butter. Pour in enough batter to cover the center of the griddle (amounts will vary by waffle maker). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
For pancakes, lightly grease the preheated griddle or frying pan with cooking spray or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nut butter.
