  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Make the Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Preheat Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, lightly greasing it with butter.
  • Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
