In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Make a little well in the middle of the dry ingredients.
Pour in milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until dry ingredients are incorporated. Batter may be a little lumpy. Do not over-stir or your pancakes may become tough.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Use a 1/4 cup measure to pour 4"-5" pancakes onto griddle.
Try hard to keep the pancakes in a circle so the pancakes can be stacked into a form of a cake. Flip the pancakes when bubbles have formed on top of batter and edges appear to be browning. When flipping the pancake, the batter could splatter. No need to panic, simply cut it off the extensions.
