In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and honey or maple syrup.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined.

Fold in the melted butter or oil.

Heat your skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.

Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.

Once bubbles appear and the edges look set, flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula.

Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in the oven while you cook the remaining batter.

Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
