Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Maple syrup, for drizzling
  • Whipped cream, for topping
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

How to Make Fluffy Stack of Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  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 butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of 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 until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Stack the pancakes, drizzle with maple syrup, top with whipped cream, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure your skillet is at the right temperature (around 375°F).
  • If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.

Easy Variations

  • Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a sweet twist.
  • Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier pancake.
  • For a tropical vibe, add shredded coconut and serve with pineapple slices.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice to brighten your morning.

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 the toaster or microwave until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze pancakes in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
