Adapted from the Armed Forces Recipe Service

1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. 2In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the milk and egg until blended, about 30 seconds.
3. 3Whisk the oil into the milk mixture until blended, about 15 seconds.
4. 4Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture.
5. 5Stir just until the batter comes together and no dry flour remains, about 30 seconds; a few small lumps are fine -- do not overmix.
6. 6Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
7. 7Lightly coat the griddle with nonstick cooking spray.
8. 8Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
9. 9Cook for 1.5 to 2 minutes, until the top is covered with bubbles and the underside is browned.
10. 10Flip each pancake.
11. 11Cook for 1.5 to 2 minutes on the second side, until browned.
12. 12Transfer the pancakes to a plate.
13. 13Lightly re-coat the griddle with nonstick cooking spray between batches.
14. 14Repeat with the remaining batter to make about 8 pancakes total.
15. 15Serve immediately.
