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 drizzling

How to Make Fluffy Pancake Stacks

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate 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 fine.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Stack the pancakes high on a plate and drizzle with warm maple syrup before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Avoid overmixing the batter; it’s okay if it’s slightly lumpy.
• Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
• For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking.

Easy Variations

• Add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fun twist.
• Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier pancake.
• Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor.
• Top with fresh fruits, yogurt, or whipped cream for a delicious variation.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
• Greek yogurt for added creaminess
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant touch
