In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy—avoid overmixing.
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of unsalted butter.
Drop tablespoons of batter onto the heated pan, spacing them apart to allow the pikelets to spread slightly. Each pikelet should be about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip the pikelets gently with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pikelets to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, jam, honey, or fresh fruit. Enjoy!
