In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the wet ingredients. Stir to combine.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Fold the ingredients together until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add the remaining tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the surface.
Using a ladle or 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving enough space between them to spread.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with fresh berries if desired.
