How to prepare your maple pancakes?
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Create a well in the center, then add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well until you get a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes to achieve lighter, fluffier pancakes.
- Cooking the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour a small amount of batter into the hot pan and cook the pancake for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip it gently and continue cooking for 1-2 more minutes until golden. Repeat for the remaining batter.
- Serve: Stack the warm pancakes on a plate and generously drizzle with pure Quebec maple syrup. For an extra touch, you can add fresh fruit, toasted nuts, or even a bit of whipped cream for even more indulgence.
With this simple and effective recipe, even those with limited cooking experience can make delicious maple pancakes. And for an authentic touch, consider the on-site maple taffy service offered by La Cabane Sucrée!
