Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together gently until just combined.
  4. Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Lightly grease a griddle and heat it over medium heat (approximately 350°F). Test readiness with water drops.
  6. Using a cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the griddle, cooking until bubbles form (2-3 minutes).
  7. Gently flip the pancake poppers and cook until golden brown (1-2 minutes).
  8. Repeat with remaining batter, re-greasing the griddle as necessary.
  9. Serve warm with an array of toppings.
