  • Fluffy texture that melts in your mouth.
  • Layers of sweetness with a maple syrup drizzle.
  • Visually appealing with a sprinkle of crumbs and fresh herbs.
  • Quick and easy to whip up for a weekend treat.
  • Customizable to suit your flavor preferences.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs (for topping)
  • Fresh mint or basil leaves (for garnish)

How to Make Fluffy Layered Pancakes with Sweet Drizzle

  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, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay!
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and stack them on a plate. Drizzle a layer of maple syrup between each pancake as you stack them high.
  7. Once all pancakes are stacked, drizzle additional maple syrup on top and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
  • Let your batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking to help the pancakes rise.
  • Adjust the heat as necessary; if pancakes brown too quickly, lower the heat to ensure they cook through.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out maple syrup for honey or agave for a different sweetener.
  • Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a fruity or indulgent twist.
  • Experiment with flavored syrups like raspberry or strawberry for a fruity topping.

What to Serve With It

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

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave until warmed through. You can also freeze pancakes for up to 2 months; just make sure to separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
