Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 large egg
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Crack in the egg and pour in the milk. Stir gently until the batter is just combined—lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4-cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until bubbles form and edges look set.
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.
Test skillet readiness by sprinkling water droplets—if they dance, it’s ready.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200 °F (95 °C) oven while making the rest.
