Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Maple Syrup

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve hot, drizzled generously with maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a ladle or measuring cup to ensure evenly sized pancakes.
  • Adjust the heat as needed; if pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the temperature.

Easy Variations

  • Add 1/2 cup of blueberries or sliced bananas to the batter for a fruity twist.
  • Mix in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for a sweet treat.
  • For a nutty flavor, add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • Whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster or warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
