1. 1.

   In a large bowl, combine the dry pancake mix, sour cream, and vanilla extract.

2. 2.

   Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.

3. 3.

   Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.

4. 4.

   For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet.

5. 5.

   Cook until bubbles form on the surface (approximately 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

6. 6.

   Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, fruits, or whipped cream.
