Instructions

Combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Warm the milk in the microwave for 30 seconds, until lukewarm, and whisk it together with the egg. Melt the butter in the microwave, then add it to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until just combined. Set aside. Do not overmix the batter.
Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter, drop three tablespoons of batter onto it, and gently spread the batter into a round shape.
Cook until the bottom is golden and bubbles appear on the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes. Then, flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden.
Serve immediately with butter, syrup, and fresh fruit.

Tips:

DO NOT OVERMIX the batter. When you combine the wet ingredients with the dry ones, stir until all ingredients are just incorporated. It's ok to leave some lumps in the batter. Over mixing the batter will make flat pancakes and we don't want that.
Let the batter set for a few minutes before cooking which gives enough time to activate the baking powder. It makes the pancakes rise high and fluffier.
Grease the pan with vegetable oil or butter between each pancake so they won't stick to the bottom when flipped.
