Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries), for topping

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Maple Drizzle

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter or oil.
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. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
8. Serve warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a handful of fresh berries on top.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
• For a richer flavor, try using buttermilk instead of regular milk.

Easy Variations

• Chocolate Chip Pancakes: Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet twist.
• Banana Pancakes: Mash 1 ripe banana and mix it into the batter for a fruity flavor.
• Nutty Pancakes: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• A side of yogurt for creaminess and tang.
• Fresh orange juice or coffee to complement the meal.
