Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon buttermilk powder this is optional - sometimes I add it and sometimes I don't
  • 1-2 tablespoon butter or canola oil for the pan

Instructions

  • In a small sauce pan, melt butter and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes. 
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and buttermilk powder.
  • In a liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted butter, milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and the egg. Mix until well combined. The butter should still be a liquid. If it becomes solid again, warm the liquid mixture for 5-10 seconds in your sauce pan.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  • In a large frying pan, warm 1 tablespoon butter or oil over medium heat. Once the butter or oil is warmed, drop the batter into the hot butter or oil. I like to use a large cookie scoop for this part and make smaller pancakes. You can also use a ¼ cup measuring cup to pour the batter into the pan.
  • Once bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancakes, flip them over and cook on the second side.
