Gather all your ingredients and tools. It’s easier to have everything ready before cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Ensure the butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the egg.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Using a tablespoon or small measuring cup, pour batter onto skillet forming small circles. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) until all are done.
Plate the mini pancakes or silver dollars and serve with toppings like berries, orange slices, and yogurt.
