In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread it into a circle, if needed.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel or placing them in a 200Β°F (95Β°C) oven until ready to serve.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
