Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Maple Syrup

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to enhance the texture.
• Keep the skillet at a consistent medium heat; adjust as necessary to avoid burning.
• For extra fluffiness, separate the egg and whip the egg white until stiff peaks form before folding it into the batter.

Easy Variations

• Add 1/2 cup of blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fruity or indulgent twist.
• Substitute half of the milk with buttermilk for a tangy flavor and even fluffier texture.
• Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• Fresh fruit salad or sliced bananas for a refreshing touch.
• A dollop of whipped cream for a decadent finish.
