These fluffy pancakes paired with a nutty, caramelized brown butter maple syrup create a perfect breakfast treat that’s quick, easy, and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter (for syrup)
  • ½ cup (120ml) pure maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt (for syrup)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted and cooled butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to hydrate the flour and activate the leaveners.
  5. While the batter rests, melt ½ cup unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown and nutty (about 4–5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Keep warm.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  7. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a cooling rack or warm oven to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  9. Serve pancakes stacked with a generous drizzle of brown butter maple syrup immediately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Rest the batter for 5–10 minutes before cooking. Watch the butter closely when making brown butter syrup to avoid burning. If pancakes brown too fast but are raw inside, lower the heat. Add a splash of buttermilk if batter is too thick.
