Step-by-step walkthrough:
Prepare
Step 1: in the large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar until evenly mixed
Step 2: in the medium bowl, beat the egg, add the molten butter and gently blend, then add the milk and again blend it in gently – Note: the gentle blending is to prevent over-beating the egg, resulting in fluffier pancakes 😀
Step 3: in the large bowl with the flour mix, make a crater in the center to pour in the egg mix – Note: this helps to better mix all the ingredients
Step 4: gently mix all the ingredients together until you have a smooth and homogenous batter – Tip: if you ever make too much pancake batter, don’t worry, you can freeze it for another time 😉

Cook
Step 1: heat the frying pan at medium heat, with 1/2 teaspoon of butter
Step 2: for each pancake, pour a 1/4 cup (59ml) of batter into the frying pan – Tip: this is where the optional ladle comes in handy
Step 3: when it starts bubbling on the top side (approx. 2min.) and it is golden-brown on the bottom side, it is ready to be flipped
Step 4: repeat this process for the remaining pancakes 🙂 – Tip: occasionally, wipe the used butter off the frying pan and add another 1/2 teaspoon of fresh butter
