In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until these are fully blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of additional melted unsalted butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
Once the skillet is hot, drop spoonfuls of batter onto the griddle, about one to two tablespoons per pancake, to form small silver dollar-sized pancakes.
Cook until the pancakes have formed bubbles on the surface and the edges appear slightly set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately with your choice of low-sodium toppings such as fresh fruit, unsalted butter, or a drizzle of pure maple syrup.
