**Ingredients:**
- 1⅓ cups all-purpose flour (160g)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (increase to ¾ teaspoon or 1 teaspoon as per taste)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup whole milk, warmed (240ml)
- 4 tablespoons melted butter (¼ cup or 56g)
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Additional butter for the pan
**Instructions:**
1. **Prep Time:** 10 minutes **Cook Time:** 15 minutes **Total Time:** 25 minutes
2. Begin by preheating a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients until they are well combined.
4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the room-temperature egg, warmed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract together until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture is slightly emulsified.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and fold the mixture gently using a spatula. Be cautious not to overmix - it’s okay to have a few lumps remaining.
6. Once the pan is warm, add some butter to coat it generously even if it’s non-stick. The butter ensures a crispy, golden edge on the pancakes.
7. Pour ⅓ cup portions of the batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
8. Remove from the skillet and serve warm with your choice of syrup or toppings.
**Equipment:**
- Large mixing bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Skillet or griddle
**Cooking Tips:**
- For additional flavors, consider adding chocolate chips, banana slices, or blueberries to the batter.
- Letting the batter sit for a few minutes can result in even fluffier pancakes.
- Make sure milk and eggs are at room temperature to help evenly incorporate all ingredients.
- Avoid pressing down the pancake while it cooks to maintain fluffiness.

This recipe yields approximately six medium-sized pancakes.
