Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 ¼ cups milk
• 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Maple Syrup

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix 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 okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
5. Pour about ¼ cup of pancake 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 until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the pancakes stacked on a plate, drizzled with warm maple syrup, and garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s slightly lumpy.
• Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for easy flipping and cleanup.
• Keep your pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F) while you cook the entire batch.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or fresh berries to the batter for a delicious twist.
• Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier pancake.
• Spice things up by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• Fresh fruit salad to brighten up your plate.
• Greek yogurt for a creamy topping option.
• Whipped cream for a sweet indulgence.
