In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together to ensure even distribution.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir gently until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease the surface with butter or a small amount of oil.
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape, if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Gently flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, jam, or powdered sugar. Enjoy your Pantry Shortage Pancakes!
