Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Cook the pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm: Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favorite syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
