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
• Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Maple Syrup

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, and melted butter. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
8. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure not to overmix the batter; this will keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
• Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish the batch.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for a sweet twist.
• For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
• Spice it up with a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• Fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or raspberries for a refreshing touch.
• A dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover pancakes can be stored 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.
