Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until well blended.

  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix! A few lumps are fine.

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

  5. Pour ¼ cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.

  6. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

  7. Serve warm with butter, warm maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
