Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 1½ cups (190g) plain flour
• 2 tbsp sugar + 2 tsp baking powder + ½ tsp salt
• 1¼ cups (300ml) milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter + more for the pan
• 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
• maple syrup, enough to drown them

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Whisk the dry ingredients in one bowl; whisk milk, egg, butter and vanilla in another.
2. Pour wet into dry and stir LAZILY — stop while small lumps remain. Smooth batter = tough pancakes.
3. Rest the batter 5 min while the pan heats on medium. Butter should sizzle quietly, not brown instantly.
4. Ladle about ¼ cup per pancake. Don't spread it — it finds its own shape.
5. Flip exactly when bubbles cover the surface and the edges look set (about 2 min). One flip only, ever.
6. 45–60 seconds on side two. Stack them high, butter between layers if you're living right, syrup over everything.
