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.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are normal.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking oil or butter.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate, and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
