Pancakes

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Make a well in the center of the dry mixture with the back of your spoon and set aside.

In another medium mixing, bowl combine the beaten egg, milk, and cooking oil until completely mixed.

Add the egg mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Let the batter sit while the griddle preheats.

For standard-size pancakes, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto a hot, lightly-greased griddle or heavy skillet. For dollar-size pancakes, pour about 1 tablespoon of batter onto a hot, lightly-greased griddle or heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side or till the pancakes are golden brown, turning to the second side when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry. Serve the cooked pancakes warm.
