First we will combine our dry ingredients in a bowl. (Flour, baking powder, salt, sugar) Now let's mix them together using a whisk, or you can sift them together with a sifter if you like.

Beat the Eggs

Next we will add our milk and our melted butter, stirring in between each one, so it is all nice and mixed together.

Add Flour Mixture

Now we just add our flour mixture a little bit at a time, I usually do about a 3rd of it, thin mix with the whisk, then a third, etc. This method helps keep the lumps from forming in the batter.

Now we cook our pancakes. It helps to have a nice hot skillet. So put your skilled on the stove top and set the temperature in between medium and medium high. Then spray the skillet with kitchen spray. Let it heat up for about 5 minutes. Now using a measuring cup (I use a 1/2 cup) scoop up some batter and pour it onto the skillet. If the batter is a little too thick, just add a bit of milk to thin it out. Let the batter cook for about 30 to 45 seconds, you will see little bubbles start to form, and the batter will raise a little. Go ahead and use your spatula and check under it to see how brown it is.

When you have a nice brown color, flip the pancake over to the other side. This side will take less time to cook. Again, check it after 20 seconds or so. Now you are done! Awesome thick fluffy pancakes.
