Maple Syrup Pancakes are a delightfully easy-to-make breakfast treat that will have your taste buds dancing with every golden, syrup-drenched bite.
Ingredient
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Maple Syrup:
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Medium heat，Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
- While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the maple syrup by combining the maple syrup, butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the butter and sugar are dissolved and the mixture is warmed through.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with the homemade maple syrup.
Tips
- Rest the Batter: After mixing the dry and wet ingredients, let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate and results in fluffier pancakes.
- Use the Right Heat: Using the correct heat is key to perfect pancakes. The pan should be hot but not scorching. Drop a small amount of water on the surface; if it sizzles, the pan is ready. If it evaporates too quickly, the heat is too high.
