In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet, spacing pancakes about 2 inches apart.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
