Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, (4 1/2 ounces)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 to 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk to blend thoroughly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 3/4 cup of the milk.
  • Add the egg and milk mixture to the dry ingredients along with the butter. Whisk until smooth. Add more milk in 1 tablespoon amounts until you have a fairly thick, but spreadable batter. You want the batter to spread on the griddle or skillet to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Heat a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the pan.
  • Cook a pancake until bubbles appear over the top and the edges begin to look slightly dry.
