Make a stack of comforting, fluffy buttermilk pancakes infused with the warm spice of fresh ginger and sweetened with pure maple syrup. This recipe is perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (buttermilk preferred)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1/4 cup candied ginger, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, vanilla extract, and grated fresh ginger.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are acceptable for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown on the underside.
  7. Serve immediately in stacks, topped with extra pure maple syrup and the chopped candied ginger.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, warm the maple syrup slightly before drizzling over the pancakes.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to your regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • You can substitute ground ginger for fresh ginger, using 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead of 1 teaspoon fresh grated.
