Fluffy Pancakes

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt (use less salt if you are using salted butter)
1 tablespoon white sugar (2-3 Tbsp if you like them sweeter)
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter; mix until smooth. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
