Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the milk, water, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

Step 3

Make a well in the middle of the large bowl containing the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients. Use a whisk to mix, moving from the outside in to make a cohesive batter, without overmixing.

Step 4

Wait 10 minutes for the pancake batter to thicken up and the ingredients to bind. Once the time is up, give it a mix once.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, grease it with butter, oil, or spray.

Step 6

Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for about 2 minutes, until defined edges form and the batter bubbles up at the top. Flip the pancakes and cook for one more minute on the other side. Remove from the pan, continue making pancakes with the rest of the batter, and serve.
