Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the flour and sugar. Set that aside.

Step 2

In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, add the milk. Add the egg and melted butter and whisk well until fully combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until fully combined. There might be a few lumps left in the pancake batter and that is ok. Do not overmix the batter as you will have tough pancakes.

Step 4

Preheat a skillet or a non-stick pan and melt 1 tablespoon of butter onto the griddle.

Step 5

Pour a 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet. If you want smaller pancakes, use 1/4 cup of an ice cream scoop. Allow the pancakes to cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side. When you see air bubbles coming up through the pancake and the edges start to look dry, you are ready to flip the pancakes.

Step 6

With a spatula, carefully flip the pancakes over. Cook for them 2-3 minutes more until they are golden brown. Serve immediately.
