Add dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt) to a large bowl.

Now, add the wet ingredients (egg-lightly beaten first, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract) to the dry ingredients.

Use a whisk to gently stir the ingredients together. Don't over mix the pancake batter. It's okay if it has a few lumps.

Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet on medium heat. Add a little oil or butter to the hot griddle. Swirl the oil or use a pancake turner or spatula to push the oil or melted butter across the pan.

Use a measuring cup to portion about ¼ cup of batter and gently pour batter onto the hot pan. Use a circular motion to spread the batter into a round shape.

Cook until bubbles start to form at the top of the pancakes. This can take anywhere form 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook on the other side, about one minute more or until golden brown.

Stack pancakes on a plate or platter and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
