2. 2

   Whisk 1.25 cups milk, 1 large egg, and 3 tablespoons melted butter in a separate medium mixing bowl until the egg is fully incorporated.

3. 3

   Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula just until the flour disappears, leaving the batter slightly lumpy.

4. 4

   Place a 10-inch nonstick skillet on the stove and set the burner to medium heat (approx. 350°F/175°C) to preheat for 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Pour 0.25 cup of batter into the center of the 10-inch nonstick skillet for each pancake.

6. 6

   Cook the pancake until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set and dry, about 2 minutes.

7. 7

   Flip the pancake with a wide spatula and cook the other side until it is golden brown and the center is firm to the touch, about 2 minutes.
