Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option.

Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

Add melted butter, an egg, and milk to the sifted dry ingredients.

Whisk vigorously until combined, ensuring to mix quickly to prevent the butter from solidifying.

Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.

Preheat a large skillet on medium-high heat and lightly spray with vegetable oil.

Use a quarter cup measuring scoop to pour the batter onto the skillet, making three smaller pancakes per serving.

Watch for bubbles forming around the edges and then through the middle of the pancakes to know when to flip them.

Flip the pancakes and cook the second side for 1-2 minutes until done.

Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and spread a little melted butter on top before serving with maple syrup.
