Ingredients:


Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Optional: maple syrup, fresh berries, or other toppings
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps; do not overmix.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, using a ladle or measuring cup to ensure even sizes.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy your delicious homemade pancakes!
