How to make Pancakes with Maple Syrup

Ingredients:

For the Pancakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

For Serving:

  • Pure maple syrup
  • Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Mix the Batter:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.

    • Preheat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly coat it with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Cook the Pancakes:
    • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  6. Serve:
