In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Whisk until you have a smooth batter. Take care not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil using a paper towel.
Using a ladle, drop small dollops of the batter onto the skillet, about 2 tablespoons each, to form circular pancakes.
Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter. You should be able to make around 12 pancakes.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a small dollop of low-sodium yogurt. Enjoy!
