In a large bowl, sift together the gluten-free self-raising flour, baking powder, caster sugar, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl or jug, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring continuously to form a smooth batter without lumps.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with the vegetable oil using a piece of kitchen paper.
Drop dessert spoon-sized amounts of batter onto the pan, leaving space between each pancake, as they will spread slightly.
Cook the pancakes for approximately 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set, then flip them over.
Cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep them warm while repeating the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the Scotch pancakes warm, with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
