  2. Mix wet ingredients: Pour in milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined.
  3. Preheat the skillet: Heat your nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form and edges turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Flip and finish cooking: Flip pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Keep them warm: Cover cooked pancakes with a kitchen towel to maintain warmth.
