Easy Quick Pancakes

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

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vegetable oil (or melted butter). Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. It's okay if there are a few lumps.

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with oil or butter if needed.

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

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and repeat with the remaining batter.
