Old fashioned pancakes

Recipe Directions

1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, beat together the milk and egg.
3. Stir the melted butter into the milk mixture.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.

7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
