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 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Whipped cream, for topping

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 another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring 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. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
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 2-3 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 the pancakes warm, topped with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.
• Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning the pancakes.
• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.

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 healthier option.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, such as almond or maple, for a different taste.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries.
• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• A side of yogurt for added creaminess and protein.
• Warm apple or peach compote for a seasonal treat.
