The Best Home Made Pancakes

Ingredients
▢1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
▢3 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
▢1 / 2 teaspoon of salt
▢1 / 4 cup sugar
▢1 1/4 cup whole milk
▢1 egg
▢3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
▢1 teaspoon of vanilla extract optional

Instructions
Melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds, set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.
Mix the milk and the egg.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.
Pour the mixture of butter, vanilla and milk into the well.
Use a whisk to mix everything together until everything is combined. It will be slightly thick and lumpy, but should be incorporated well.
Let the dough rest while heating a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake.
Cook on each side for 3-6 minutes, until lightly browned.
