Ingredients
Method
- Preheat a cast-iron or nonstick griddle over medium heat.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and optional cinnamon in a bowl until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg, then stir in milk, melted butter, and vanilla until glossy.
- Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle to form small circles.
- Drizzle a small ribbon of maple syrup onto each cooked circle before the first layer fully sets.
- Top with additional batter and cook until bubbles form on the surface (1-2 minutes). Flip and cook 1 minute longer.
- Repeat with remaining batter, stacking layers (syrup side to side) for extra texture.
- Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate over finished bites.
Notes
Use clarified butter for higher smoke point. Whole-wheat flour adds fiber. Almond/oat milk enhances flavor. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Freeze uncooked batter in ice cube trays for later use.
