Sift all of the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

Add the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until a smooth batter forms.  

Heat a little butter on medium heat. Lower the heat to low-medium. 

Add a small ladle full of the pancake batter to the pan.  

Cook until small bubbles form on the top. At this point the bottom of the pancake should be set.  

Using a wide metal spatula, flip the pancake over. Cook until the bottom is done.
