Create light and fluffy pancakes infused with the warm spice of fresh ginger and sweetened with real maple syrup. This recipe delivers a comforting, slightly spiced breakfast treat.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Add flavorings: Stir the freshly grated ginger and ground cinnamon into the wet mixture.
  4. Combine mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  5. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate, resulting in lighter pancakes.
  6. Heat the griddle: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  7. Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle 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.
  8. Serve immediately: Stack the pancakes and serve warm with extra pure maple syrup.

Notes

  • For extra spice flavor, substitute 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger for the fresh ginger, or add 1 teaspoon of ginger syrup to the wet ingredients.
  • To keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest of the batch, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
  • Use real maple syrup for the best flavor in both the batter and as a topping.
