Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (400°F) and ensure the cooking surface is clean.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the melted and cooled butter with eggs, milk, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.

Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Don't worry about small lumps in the batter - they're perfectly fine.

Add one tablespoon of butter to the preheated griddle surface, allowing it to melt and using a spatula to spread it evenly.

Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle, spacing them a few inches apart. Work in batches as needed.

Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set. Use a metal spatula to gently flip each pancake once.

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the second side until golden brown. Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
