2. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and powdered sugar, 3 times. Place in a bowl. Make a well in the center. Add egg-milk mixture. Gradually fold in flour mixture till flour is just moistened.

3. Heat a pan in which you make pancakes on high heat for about 2 minutes till a drop of water forms a tiny ball which bounces.

4. Reduce heat to low. Spread 1 teaspoon butter all over pan. Drop 1/8 cup batter at a time. Cook till bubbles form on pancake and edges appear dry (3 minutes). Turn over. Do the same for the remaining batter.
