Mix the milk and egg in another bowl. Add the melted butter to this wet mixture. Stir it until the egg is fully broken up.

Pour the wet mix into the dry bowl. Stir the batter gently with your whisk. Do not overmix the batter at this stage.

A few small lumps are perfectly fine to have. Overmixing will make the pancakes very tough. Keep it light for the best results possible.

Heat your skillet over medium heat now. Add a small bit of butter or oil. Let the pan get hot before adding batter.

Pour small circles of batter onto the hot skillet. Wait for bubbles to form on the top surface. This shows the bottom is cooked and ready.

Flip the pancake carefully with your flat spatula. Cook the other side for one more minute. It should be golden brown on both sides.
