2. Stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
3. In a small bowl or 2-cup measuring cup, beat egg with a fork. Stir in milk and oil. Pour all at once into the well in the flour mixture. Mix quickly and lightly with a fork until moistened, but do not beat. Gently stir in a variation listed below, if desired. The batter will be lumpy.
