# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and sugar.
02 -
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well blended.
03 -
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk gently just until smooth. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are acceptable.
04 -
Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, reduce to low-medium, lightly grease with a small amount of butter, and wipe away excess with a paper towel.
05 -
Using a 60 ml (1/4 cup) measure, pour batter into the centre of the pan, allowing it to spread into a round shape.
06 -
Let pancakes cook gently until bubbles form on the surface and edges are slightly set. Flip with a spatula and cook until golden brown on both sides.
07 -
Serve pancakes hot, stacked, and drizzled with pure maple syrup.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For maximum fluffiness, avoid overmixing the batter and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
02 -
Cook pancakes over moderate heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning.
