Honey offers natural sweetness with added flavor.

In a large bowl, combine 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Add 2 tablespoons sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk until mixed.

In a medium bowl, warm 1 cup of whole milk in the microwave and add 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 large room temperature egg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; mix well.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium low heat and add butter to coat the bottom.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, folding gently until just mixed; do not overmix.

For each pancake, pour about 1/3 to 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 1 minute, then flip the pancake.

Reduce heat if necessary and add more butter for the next batch; cook until golden brown and transfer to a plate.
