In a large mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: all purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk them together well.
Whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk a few times.
Add the melted butter and whisk everything together until fully combined, but be careful not to overmix. Lumpy batter is good batter.
Let the pancake batter rest while you heat up the griddle.
Heat an electric griddle to 350°F or heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with a tablespoon of butter or oil.
Using a ladle or ½ cup measuring cup, add about ½ cup pancake batter to griddle. Let cook for 1-2 minutes until there are bubbles popping and the edges look dry.
Flip the pancakes and cook on second side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Remove, place pancakes aside until all the batter is cooked. You can place in low oven to keep warm while you finish all the batter.
