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
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Maple Syrup

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 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 and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
5. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the 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, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with fresh mint leaves, if desired.

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.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
• Experiment with different toppings like berries, nuts, or whipped cream for added flavor.

Easy Variations

• Add 1/2 cup of blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fruity or indulgent twist.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier option.
• For a flavor boost, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory complement.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Yogurt or whipped cream for added creaminess.
