  1. Sift Together Dry Ingredients: Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, stir together milk and vinegar. Let it sit for about a minute to allow the mixture to thicken slightly. Then, whisk in eggs and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Add melted butter and mix until smooth. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little more milk.

Serving and Customization

Once the pancake muffins are done, let them cool in the pan for a minute or two before turning them out onto a plate. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as warm syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
