In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another larger bowl, whisk the egg until blended. Whisk in the milk and melted butter, then whisk in the dry mixture until well combined.

Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3-4 circles of batter into the pan. Cook until the pancakes are puffed on top and golden brown on the bottom, 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side until risen and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Makes 8 pancakes.

Serve with butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruit, as desired.
