1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt & sugar.
2. Add milk, butter & egg. Mix together until combined (careful, don’t over-mix)
3. Let sit for about 5 minutes or so (this gives all the gluten a chance to sit and figure itself out).
4. Heat a large griddle or cast-iron skillet or non-stick skillet over medium; brush with butter (except the griddle).
5. Working in batches, scoop ½-cupfuls of batter onto griddle; cook until bubbles form on the surface and pop and the underside is a nice dark (not burnt) golden brown, 2½–3 minutes.
6. Flip and continue to cook until dark (not burnt) golden brown on the other side, about 2–2½ minutes more. Transfer pancakes to plates or a platter and brush tops with butter.
7. Serve with maple syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or any of our favorite pancake toppings.
