Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 egg

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.
