In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 egg, 1 cup milk, and 1 tbsp melted butter (which hopefully has cooled some, as to not cook the milk or egg). Once wet ingredients are combined, pre-heat the griddle on medium-high. Add some butter to the griddle and move it around.

When ready, add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix until combined, but no more. Add in whatever size you like to the warmed griddle, bringing it down in temperature as the first ones hit the griddle, to medium, or just above that.
Flip when there is solid (not insignificant) bubbling on the surface. Move around depending on how even your surface heat is, of course. And serve as immediately as possible.
