Start your day with these fluffy and delicious pancakes, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure a smooth batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and milk.
Make sure the butter is slightly cooled to prevent cooking the egg.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Test the heat by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; they should sizzle.
Pour a small amount of batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancake gently to avoid breaking it.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Arrange the pancakes in a stack for a classic presentation.
