In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined and lump-free.

In another bowl, mix milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding until just combined. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.

Pour about ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges are set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip pancakes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Keep warm.

Serve pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.
