Classic Fluffy Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined—small lumps are okay and will make fluffier pancakes.

Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown.

Stack pancakes on plates and serve immediately with warm maple syrup, fresh butter, and your choice of fresh berries or sliced bananas.
