In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cook Pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve
Serve warm pancakes topped with chocolate sauce, maple syrup, honey, and a dollop of cream.
