In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Grease the griddle with a little butter or oil if necessary.

Pour batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes more.

Remove from the griddle and keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes.

Serve warm with syrup, fruit, or your favorite toppings.
