- Combine together the flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large-sized bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the milk, slightly cooled melted butter, vanilla and egg.
- Use a wire whisk to whisk the wet ingredients together first before slowly folding them into the dry ingredients. Mix together until smooth (there may be a couple of lumps but that's okay).
- (The batter will be thick and creamy in consistency. If you find the batter too thick -- doesn't pour off the ladle or out of the measuring cup smoothly -- fold a couple tablespoons of extra milk into the batter at a time until reaching desired consistency).
- Set the batter aside and allow to rest while heating up your pan or griddle.
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter to lightly grease the pan. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently into a round shape with the back of your ladle or measuring cup.
- When the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream, or frozen yogurt, or enjoy plain!

Note
- For fluffier pancakes, you can add baking soda, however, if you're sensitive to the taste, leave it out. Usually, for every cup of flour, add ⅛ of a teaspoon of baking soda. This will turn your plain/all-purpose flour into self-raising flour.
- For Australian readers, you can use self-raising flour instead of plain flour. If using SR flour, remove the baking soda completely and only add 1 teaspoon of baking powder per 1 cup (0.24 l) of flour.
- Tip: For equal-sized pancakes, use a measuring cup to pour your batter. I usually use ladles that measure ¼ cup or ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake.
