Melt the butter – get the butter melted first. You can do this in a microwave for 30 seconds (cover your heatproof bowl or jug), or on the stove in a small saucepan.
Combine dry ingredients - Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Combine wet with dry - Add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and egg to the dry ingredients and use a hand whisk to combine. Whisk until no dry ingredients are showing. Take care not to overmix, some small lumps are ok. The batter will be about the same consistency as heavy cream, just slightly thicker.
To cook your pancakes - Warm up your non-stick frypan to medium heat and brush with melted butter. Use an ice-cream scoop that holds about 3 tbsp of batter and pour rounds of it on your griddle or skillet. You can also use two tablespoons to do this.
Cook until bubbles begin showing on top of the pancakes and the batter begins looking a little dull (less shiny). Use a flat spatula to turn over and cook until golden. Serve with your favorite toppings. Hazelnut spread, Strawberries, berries, maple syrup, cream or chocolate sauce!
