In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
Using a ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
To make the lemon syrup, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves, then bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow the syrup to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the lemon syrup from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.
Stack the pancakes on a serving plate and generously drizzle with the warm lemon syrup.
Optional: Garnish with fresh fruits or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
