What do You need to Make Maple Pancakes?
- Flour: You can use all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, or gluten-free flour. I usually use all-purpose flour to make pancakes.
- Baking powder: Baking powder helps leaven the pancake batter, creating a soft and fluffy texture.
- Salt: You will find a small amount of salt in most pancake recipes.
- Egg: You will need one or more eggs, depending on the number of pancakes you make.
- Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds sweetness and flavor.
- Milk: Milk adds moisture, and keeps the pancakes fluffy.
- Maple syrup: Maple syrup adds an earthy and rich sweetness to the pancakes.
- Brown sugar: I like to make maple pancakes with brown sugar. The rich taste of brown sugar pairs well with maple syrup.
- Vegetable oil or melted butter: The butter should be melted and in-room temperature. You can use vegetable oil instead of butter if you like.
Instructions
- First, gather your ingredients. Melt the butter and let it cool to room temperature. Whisk all dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt).
- In another bowl crack the egg. Whisk egg with a fork until consistency is even. Then add the milk and room temperature melted butter, and mix well. Add vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- Stir in dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Do not overmix. Heat up a non-stick saucepan at medium heat, then add butter. You can use a 1/4 measuring cup or ladle to pour batter into the pan.
- Cook each pancake until you see bubbles on the surface and the edges look golden brown and dry. Then stack them on a plate.
- Top with crushed walnuts and maple syrup drizzle and serve.
