In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

In a separate bowl, crack one large egg and add 1 cup of milk. Whisk together until frothy.

Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and fold together until just combined.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted butter until fully incorporated, then let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Preheat a nonstick griddle or frying pan over medium heat, ideally around 350°F.

Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook for about 2-3 minutes.

Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the pancakes from the griddle and stack them on a plate. Serve warm.
