Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy for tender pancakes.

- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set (about 2–3 minutes).
- Flip the pancakes and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
- Serve:
- Stack the pancakes and serve warm with toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or additional chocolate chips.
