Instructions

1

Prepare Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

2

Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the milk, beaten egg, and melted butter until smooth.

3

Combine Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Pro tip: Do not overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy.

4

Rest the Batter

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.

5

Preheat the Pan

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

6

Cook the Pancakes

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Pro tip: Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
