Ingredients
milk
3/4 cup (none)

flour
1 cup (none)

Instructions
1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well combined.
2
In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
3
Cut the cranberries in half and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle with the teaspoon of sugar and microwave on high, stirring every 15 seconds until the cranberries start to soften and bubble. Let them cool slightly before gently folding them into the pancake batter.
4
Preheat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. To test if it's ready, sprinkle a few drops of water on the surface; they should sizzle and dance.
5
Lightly grease the griddle with a small pat of butter. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake onto the griddle, cooking until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
6
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm, topped with your favorite syrup or additional cranberries.
