Mix together the flour and baking powder in a small bowl.
Add the egg and milk and beat well until combined.
Heat a little oil in a heavy frying pan.
Put teaspoonfuls of batter into the hot pan. If you want larger pancakes use a larger measure (I have a small ladle that I use to make them all evenly sized).
Cook until bubbles begin to appear and then flip over and cook the other side.
Repeat until the batter is used. Serve immediately.
