Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 0.25 cup for each pancake.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
