In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk the wet ingredients until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a tablespoon of oil or butter.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
