Method
- Collect all the ingredients before starting.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Form a well in the center, then pour in the milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until the batter is smooth.
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look dry, roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook until the other side is golden brown. Continue with the remaining batter.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
💡 Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Use a non-stick pan or griddle for best results.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F/200°F) while finishing the batch.
