Classic Pancakes with Maple Syrup

Step-by-Step Instructions:

These classic pancakes are easier to make than you might think! All you do is follow these steps:

1. Prepare the battery base:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
• It makes sure that your dry ingredients are well mixed.

2. Mix the wet ingredients:

• Incorporate the melted butter and vanilla extract, and stir to combine.

3. Combine dry and wet mixes:

• Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
• Fold in slowly until just incorporated. (Some lumps are fine—overmixing makes for dense pancakes.)

4. Heat the pan:

• Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle to medium heat, and grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.

5. Cook the pancakes:

• For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet.
• Let cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

6. Keep Warm:

• Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm as you complete the rest.
