In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if there are a few small lumps.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each hotcake, spreading slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip the hotcakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Remove cooked hotcakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar. Enjoy!
