Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large, bowl whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla extract. Then stir the flour mixture into the milk mixture, just until combined. The batter will be a bit lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve with your favorite toppings.
