In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together milk, beaten egg, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until combined, leaving some lumps.

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.

Stack pancakes on a plate, cover with a towel to keep warm. Serve with butter, syrup, or fruits.
