Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 2: Preheat the Pan

  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.
  2. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  3. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  2. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
