Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Whipped cream, for topping

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 a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and melted butter until fully incorporated.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir 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. You can test if it’s ready by sprinkling a drop of water on the surface; if it dances and evaporates, it’s time to cook!
5. Pour about 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 another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream on top.

1. Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
2. Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the ingredients to meld.
3. If your pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
4. For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, and gently fold it into the batter at the end.

Easy Variations

• Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for a sweet twist.
• Incorporate fresh berries like blueberries or strawberries into the batter.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat for a heartier pancake.
• Mix in some cinnamon or vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like sliced bananas, strawberries, or blueberries.
• Bacon or sausage for a savory complement.
• Yogurt for a creamy side.
• Nut butter for an added layer of flavor.

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. For longer storage, freeze individual pancakes separated by parchment paper in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
