Prepare the Ingredients – Measure all ingredients beforehand. Ensure the milk is at room temperature to help the batter blend smoothly.
Mix the Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Combine the Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients – Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. A few lumps are okay.
Cook the Pancakes – Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, grease lightly, and pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form, flip, and cook until golden brown.
Notes
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking. Flip only when bubbles form. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest. Customize with chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts for extra flavor.
