Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the griddle)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk and melted butter until blended.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the batter onto the hot griddle for each griddle cake. Leave some space between the pancakes to allow for spreading.

Step 6

Cook until the edges look set and bubbles form across the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the griddle cakes and cook the other side until golden brown, an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
