Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Maple syrup, for drizzling

How to Make Fluffy Pancake Stack

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring 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 and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
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 an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with warm maple syrup before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh baking powder for maximum fluffiness.
• Allow your batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking to enhance texture.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
• Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning while ensuring they cook through.

Easy Variations

• Add 1/2 cup of blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fun twist.
• Substitute half the milk with buttermilk for a tangy flavor.
• Try a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract for added depth.
• Serve with sliced bananas or strawberries for a fruity touch.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory balance.
• Fresh fruit salad for a burst of color and flavor.
• Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein.
• Whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
