<\/p><\/div>"} 1 Mix flour, egg, butter, and milk. Whisk the egg and half the milk in a bowl. Gradually add the flour to make a smooth, thick batter. Beat throughout until there are no more lumps, then add the remaining milk. It's important that your batter is quite thick so that the mixture doesn't run everywhere.

<\/p><\/div>"} 2 Cover a plate in butter to keep the pancake from sticking. A thin coat should suffice, but use more if you like. You may also consider using margarine, olive/vegetable oil, or a non-stick cooking spray.

<\/p><\/div>"} 3 Pour about 3/4 cup of pancake mix onto the plate. The size of the pancake depends on the size of your plate, but be aware that larger pancakes will take longer to cook.

<\/p><\/div>"} 4 Put the plate in the microwave for 60 seconds. Adjust the time if you know that your microwave is particularly weak or strong. If the pancake is still runny, heat it for another ten seconds, but don't go overboard. There's no grill involved, so your pancake won't brown. If you do overcook your pancake, it will become dry, not burned.
