Classic Butter Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until blended.

In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until well mixed.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.

Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and coat with vegetable oil or additional butter.

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
