Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Whisk the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt) in one mixing bowl.
- Whisk the wet ingredients (whole milk, egg, and melted butter) in a separate mixing bowl.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; stop immediately when flour streaks disappear to ensure a lumpy batter for maximum lift.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and grease lightly with butter.
- Pour exactly 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
- Cook until the surface sets and small bubbles pop and remain open.
- Flip the pancake in one confident motion and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the second side is mahogany-brown and springs back when lightly pressed.
