This recipe for basic milk pancakes is a must-have for everyone. They're thick and tender, and since they're sugar-free, they're perfect for breakfast with any savory fillings, like bacon or sausage, or with sweet toppings like honey or maple syrup. To ensure fluffy pancakes, don't overmix the batter: once you've moistened the flour mixture with milk, begin frying. Serve the pancakes on warm plates with toppings, or simply brush them with butter, and enjoy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Heat a griddle or griddle over high heat. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together the egg, milk, and butter. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just to moisten. The dough will be lumpy, so don't overmix it. If it's too dry, add a few more tablespoons of milk.
Reduce heat to medium-high and lightly grease a skillet with butter. Pour batter into the skillet, about 1/4 cup per 4-inch (10 cm) pancake. Cook until the edges are dry and small bubbles appear on the surface, about 2 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until lightly browned. Transfer the pancakes to warm plates as they cook and serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
