How to Make Good Old Fashioned Pancakes

In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
Make a well in the center and pour in 1 3/4 cups milk, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
Gently whisk until just combined; don't overmix!
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. (Test with a drop of water; it should sizzle immediately.)
Pour or scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Discard the first pancake or two to allow the griddle to reach optimal temperature.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings! Maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit – the choices are endless!
