Sieve the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into a bowl. In a jug lightly whisk together the egg and milk and when that's combined whisk in the melted butter.

Use a fork to beat the milk mixture into the flour mixture until it's smooth and the lumps have disappeared.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. As soon as the oil begins bubbling add a level ladle of batter.

The batter should be thick and should easily settle into a puffy cake on the pan's surface without spreading too much.

Wait until the top of the pancake begins to bubble, then flip it to the other side. As it cooks it will raise about 1cm or so.

They should be golden on both sides. Repeat until you use up all the batter. You can put with your choice of icing sugar and honey.
