Indulge in the classic comfort of fluffy pancakes paired with rich, golden syrup. This easy-to-make recipe delivers perfect pancakes every time, ideal for a special breakfast or brunch to enjoy with family and friends.
Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Syrup:
- 1 cup maple syrup (or any preferred syrup)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional, for added richness)
Method:
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Step 5: Make the Syrup
In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup over low heat until warm. If you prefer a richer syrup, you can stir in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter until melted and smooth.
Step 6: Serve
Serve the warm pancakes stacked high on a plate, and drizzle generously with the warm syrup. Enjoy with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
