Ingredients
 

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 3½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1½ cups milk (less if you want thicker pancakes)
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center, place the egg in, then pour in the milk and the melted butter. With a whisk, mix until the batter is free from big lumps or until relatively smooth.
  • Heat a griddle or frying pan (some pans need to be greased a bit beforehand) over medium high heat. (I use a non-stick griddle so there’s no need to grease it all). When the pan or griddle is hot enough,  scoop the batter onto the griddle/pan using a small measuring cup (1/4-1/3 cup size). Cook until bubbly approximately – 1 to 1-1/2 minutes.
  • Flip and brown the other side. Just cook until it’s fully set, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  • Spread some butter on the pancakes and serve with warm maple syrup or your preferred sweetener (or – sprinkle brown sugar on top and for syrup – evaporated milk!)
