In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the milk, beaten egg, and vegetable oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter. Serve with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh berries.
