3. Combine Ingredients:
   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

7. Flip and Finish Cooking:
   Carefully flip the pancakes and cook until the second side is golden brown, about 2 more minutes.

8. Serve:
   Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the griddle with more melted butter as needed.
