Prepare the Batter
Preheat an electric griddle to 375 F (medium-high) heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just barely combined. Then whisk in the melted butter until smooth.
Cook the Griddle Cakes
Test the griddle is hot enough: a few droplets of water should dance on the surface and disappear within a second or two.
Pour batter onto the hot surface in 1/4 cup amounts per griddle cake using a ΒΌ cup measuring cup, spaced 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Let the pancakes cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the pancakes are golden brown underneath, about one minute.
Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until golden, about for 30 to 60 seconds. (If in doubt, check the center of one cake is cooked through.)
Remove to a wire rack until serving. Enjoy with optional maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
