In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should have a few lumps.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a teaspoon of cooking oil or additional butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet, forming small circles.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
