Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Create a well in the center and pour in the milk, melted butter, and egg; stir until you reach a smooth consistency.
Set a lightly oiled pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Pour or ladle the batter onto the cooking surface, using roughly 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear and the edges begin to look dry, around 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the other side is browned. Repeat with remaining batter.
