Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center.

Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Blend together.

Blend the batter: Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.

Prepare the pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.

Cook pancakes: Let cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for 1 more minute until golden.

Serve and enjoy: Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven; stack and serve with syrup and berries.
