Instructions

Chef’s Pro Tips

  • Resting the batter helps create fluffiness.
  • Use buttermilk substitute: 1 3/4 cups milk + 2 tsp lemon juice for extra tenderness.
  • Brown the butter in the Maple Butter for a nutty aroma.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid browning too quickly.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with extra maple syrup, fresh berries, and a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a complete breakfast plate.

Storage Instructions

Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days; reheat gently in a skillet or toaster.
