Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions:
- Prepare the dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Combine wet ingredients:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
- Heat the griddle:
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the pancakes:
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
Tips:
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
- Add-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas can be added to the batter for extra flavor.
- Serve with maple syrup, butter, fresh berries, or any toppings you prefer.
