In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center.
In another bowl or large measuring jug, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the milk and egg mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to stir the ingredients until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, but without any large flour pockets.
Preheat a griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with vegetable oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Use the back of the measuring cup to spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip and continue cooking until the pancakes are golden brown on the other side, another 2 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the griddle as necessary.
Serve the pancakes hot with maple syrup drizzled on top for a classic touch.
