In a large bowl, whisk together, butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined (carefully, don’t over mix)
Let sit for about 5 minutes or so (this gives all the gluten a chance to sit and calm down a bit) I let my griddle/pan heat during this time. By the time the griddle is hot, the batter is ready.
Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter onto a hot, lightly oiled/buttered cast iron skillet, or non-stick electric griddle (I like to use a cookie scoop for more consistent pancakes). Let them sit until you see bubbles; then flip
Let that cook for a couple more minutes until lightly browned (you can gently lift and check if you’re not sure). Then take it off the heat and enjoy it with your favorite toppings!
