Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until all dry ingredients are well incorporated.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully blended.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; some lumps are okay.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat Griddle

    Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. You can lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray if desired.

  2. 5

    Pour Batter

    Using a measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Leave space between each pancake.

  3. 6

    Cook Until Bubbles Form

    Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

  4. 7

    Flip Pancakes

    Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Remove from griddle and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
