Step 1

Sift the flour, the baking powder, the sugar, and the salt together in a large bowl.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, the melted butter, and the egg.

Step 3

Whisk all the ingredients together until relatively smooth, but a few lumps are welcome! Don't overmix the batter.

Step 4

Lightly oil a griddle or a pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot griddle, about 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake.

Step 6

Cook each pancake until golden-brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Wait until the middle begins to bubble and the edges appear dry and set before flipping the pancakes.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve.
