In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Premier Protein shake, egg, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be sure not to over-mix; some lumps are okay.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray to the skillet as needed.
Serve hot with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added protein.
