- 3 tbsp melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh fruit, diced (blueberries, strawberries, banana slices, or apples)

Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (a few lumps are fine).
- Add the Fruit: Gently fold in the diced fruit of your choice, making sure not to overmix.
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
