In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir gently until combined, but avoid overmixing—a few lumps are okay.
Preheat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or a small amount of cooking oil.
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, and the edges look set—about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve:
Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest. Serve with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
