Gather all your ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, and butter. Measure out 1 cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps.

In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1 large egg until blended. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the mixture. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while stirring gently to combine.

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with melted butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown.
