Whisk together the eggs, melted butter or oil, milk, and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Stir in the egg mixture.
To make pancakes: Preheat the griddle to medium (350°F), greasing it lightly. Scoop the batter by ¼-cupfuls onto the griddle.
Cook pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes, till the tops lose their shine and bottoms are golden brown. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the other side.
Serve hot, with butter and syrup.
To make waffles: Prepare the batter as directed, adding the extra fat; this will help make the waffles crisp. To cook, follow the directions that come with your waffle iron.
