Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or whisk until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
- Lightly grease the preheated skillet or griddle with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
