    Preparation Process:

    1. Prep the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
    2. Combine: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
    3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
    4. Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, whipping until stiff peaks form.
    5. Assemble: Top each warm pancake with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.
