In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip the pancake carefully using a spatula 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 choice of toppings, such as syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
