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 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Make a well in the center and pour in milk, egg, and melted butter; mix until just combined (batter may be lumpy).
Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges are dry, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes.
While pancakes cook, make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Stack 3 pancakes on each plate and drizzle generously with warm syrup. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
Store leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Top with fresh berries or whipped cream for added indulgence.
