Scotch Pancakes with Maple Syrup

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 4 ounces milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup fresh fruit (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg and then add 3/4 cup of milk. Whisk until smooth.

3. 3

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

4. 4

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 350°F). Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface.

5. 5

   For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

6. 6

   Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

7. 7

   Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

8. 8

   Serve the pancakes warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and fresh fruit if desired.
