Martha Stewart's Pancakes

Once I found this recipe, I've never bought pancake mix again. So good, but so simple!

1 Cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 Cup milk
2 Tablespoons butter

Whisk together flour, baking powder,salt and sugar in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, and melted butter. Form a well in the dry ingredients. Then pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until barely moistened--stir as little as possible. In griddle or fry pan, melt 1/2 tsp. butter (I never do this--use pam instead or a nonstick pan). Pour batter in 4 inch circles. Turn the pancakes when the edges of the pancakes look dry and the bubbles in the middle of the pancake break open. Turn and cook on the other side.

Optional:
Scatter frozen blueberries or chocolate chips over the pancake batter once it is poured onto the griddle.
