In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are fine; do not overmix the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or oil.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them evenly apart.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
