1. Gather Ingredients

   Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients:

   • 1 cup all-purpose flour
   • 2 tablespoons sugar
   • 2 teaspoons baking powder
   • 1/2 teaspoon salt
   • 1 cup milk
   • 1 large egg
   • 2 tablespoons melted butter

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3. Add Wet Ingredients

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

   Then, pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.

   Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are okay.

4. Cook the Pancakes

   Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat.

   Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the hot griddle.

   Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

   Repeat with the remaining batter.

5. Serve and Enjoy

   Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve them warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

For additional flavor variations, you can try adding ingredients like chocolate chips, blueberries, or cinnamon to the batter.
