To make the pancake mix: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Transfer to an airtight container if making in advance. This mix will stay fresh for up to 2 months when stored in a cool, dry place.
To prepare the pancakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups (approximately 300 grams) of the prepared pancake mix with the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; small lumps are fine. Avoid overmixing as this can result in dense pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
