Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened; batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges are set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.
Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Stack pancakes on plates, drizzle generously with maple syrup, and serve immediately.
Tips
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
Serve with fresh berries or sliced bananas for added flavor.
