In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add wet ingredients to the dry and mix together until a batter forms. It will be thick, but should not be lumpy.
Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or large freezer bag (snip off a corner of the bag once filled).
Heat a large skillet on medium-low.
Spray the center with a little bit of cooking spray.
Drop about a tablespoon of batter onto the hot pan using the squeeze bottle, making the pancakes the size of a quarter.
Cook for 1 minute.
Flip once little bubbles appear on the top and cook for an additional 1-2 mins, until golden brown.
Repeat with remaining batter.
