Instructions
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, melted butter, and egg. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
3. Heat Griddle or Pan: Lightly oil a griddle or frying pan and heat over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Pancakes: Pour or scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
5. Serve: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest of the batter. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- When to Flip: Pancakes are ready to flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry.
- Storing Leftovers: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
- Freezing Pancakes: Cool pancakes completely, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the oven.
- Freezing Batter: For leftover batter, pour it into freezer bags in single-serving portions, wrap in foil, and freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.
Enjoy your homemade pancakes hot off the griddle, and don’t forget to add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Happy cooking!
