Fluffy Pancakes with Powdered Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.

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

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps—do not overmix!

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

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.

Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
