- 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
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk them together.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and grated ginger until blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- 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.
- 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.
