1
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
2
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well blended.
3
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy. Do not overmix.

4
Preheat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
5
Cook the Hotcakes
Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each hotcake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6
Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the hotcake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
