Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Preheat Griddle or Pan: Place a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat.

- Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate chips.
