In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly combined and free of lumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps in the batter are okay.
Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with non-stick cooking spray or a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Heat over medium-low heat.
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into an even circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly between batches if necessary.
Serve the pancakes warm with butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
