Combine flour, eggs, milk, and water in a mixing bowl.

Add salt, sugar, and vanilla extract to the mixture.

Whisk until smooth and free of lumps, about 2-3 minutes.

Let the batter rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot.

Melt a small amount of butter in the skillet, swirling to coat.

Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, tilting to spread evenly.

Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.

Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1 minute until golden.

Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

Serve warm with desired toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
