- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
4. Serve:
- Stack the pancakes and serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or additional chocolate chips.
