Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons butter for serving
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 0.5 tsp salt until combined.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the 1.25 cups milk, 1 egg, and 3 tbsp melted butter until smooth.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir with a fork just until no dry streaks remain—lumps are fine, do not overmix.
- 4
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little butter or oil.
- 5
Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- 6
Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm.
- 7
Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with the 2 tbsp butter and drizzle with the 0.5 cup maple syrup. Serve immediately.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla to the batter if you have them.
