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

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.

Melt the butter in a large iron skillet and griddle over medium heat.

Whisk the butter into milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.

Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Cook until the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 mins. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 min more on the second side.

Serve hot with honey and maple syrup!
