Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for serving)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.
To serve, stack 3 pancakes on each plate. Top with a pat of butter and drizzle generously with warm maple syrup.
Tips
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
Warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan or microwave before serving.
Serve with fresh berries or crispy bacon for a complete meal.
