Make light and fluffy pancakes with a warm spice from fresh ginger and the sweetness of pure maple syrup for a unique breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk them together.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and grated ginger until blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook the second side until done.
  7. Serve immediately with extra maple syrup.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a heartier texture.
  • If you prefer a stronger ginger flavor, add another 1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for tangier, even fluffier pancakes.
