In a mixing bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl combine the egg, milk, and oil.
Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture all at once.
Stir the mixture just till blended but still slightly lumpy.
Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle.
Cook till the pancakes are golden brown, turning to cook the second side when the pancakes have a bubbly surface and slightly dry edges.
