Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Blend the milk, eggs, and melted butter in another bowl until smooth and creamy.

Notes
Serve warm with coffee or hot chocolate. For extra flavor, try adding vanilla extract or citrus zest to the batter.
