Fluffy Pancakes

1. 1

   Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt inside a large bowl, whisking to blend.

2. 2

   Whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla inside a medium-sized bowl until the ingredients are fully integrated.

3. 3

   Add the milk mixture to the flour and gently fold them together until barely mixed. Having some small lumps remain in the batter is fine, as this actually helps create a fluffier texture.

4. 4

   Warm a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. When it becomes hot, grease the surface lightly by rubbing or brushing it with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, cooking them in batches.

5. 5

   Cook for several minutes until the undersides turn golden and bubbles begin to break on the surface, then turn them over and cook for another minute, or until they are golden brown. Incorporate extra butter into the pan for each fresh batch of pancakes. Serve hot with butter and some drizzled maple syrup.
