Make delicious maple pancakes from scratch with this simple step by step guide. This recipe balances the sweetness of maple syrup with the warm spice of fresh ginger for a unique pancake flavor combination perfect for an easy weekend brunch.

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 unsalted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, grated ginger, and ground cinnamon until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are acceptable 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 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately with extra maple syrup and your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the fresh grated ginger to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • To keep pancakes warm while you cook the rest of the batch, place them on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
  • If you prefer a sweeter batter, add one more tablespoon of maple syrup to the mix.
