Combine flour, sugar (or sweetener), baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add milk, melted butter, vanilla, and egg.

Whisk the wet ingredients together, then slowly fold them into the dry ingredients until smooth.

Set the batter aside to rest while heating the pan or griddle.

Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan.

Cook until the underside is golden and bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve with honey, maple syrup, fruit, ice cream, or enjoy plain!
