Fluffy Pancakes with a Golden Crust

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined. Add the melted butter and mix again.

3.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4.Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a little butter or oil if necessary.

5.Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

6.Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

7.Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
