In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until combined, making sure not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the cooking surface with non-stick cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the heated skillet to form circles. Leave space between each pancake as they spread slightly while cooking.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
