In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, malted milk powder and sugar.
In a mixing bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the eggs until very light. Drizzle in the milk, followed by the oil or melted butter and extract.
Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture ands stir with a heavy duty scraper until barely mixed. You want everything blended, but keep the batter light.
Lightly grease a nonstick skillet (use non-stick even with the grease) with clarified butter or oil and heat. If you have an electric griddle, set it to 375°F.
Drop batter by quarter cups and heat for about 2 minutes or until you see bubbles start to form. Turn and cook for another 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and continue until all the pancakes are done.
For waffles, make the same batter but add 2 more tablespoons of butter or oil and omit 2 tablespoons of the milk.
