Authentic Pancakes with Maple Syrup Recipe Canada, North America
JUMP TO RECIPEWe strongly advise you to read the cooking tips before jumping to the recipe though
Introduction & history
Just as American pancakes, the Canadian breakfast staple, pancakes with maple syrup are also prepared by whisking flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt until you get a homogenous batter. Spoonfuls of the batter, about ¼ cup, are then dropped onto a hot and greased skillet and fried until the surface becomes interspersed with bubbles, at which point the pancake should be flipped and fried for no more than a minute or two. The basic batter can be upgraded by using buttermilk instead of milk or adding flavorings like vanilla or fruits like blueberries. The pancakes are served stacked, drizzled with maple syrup and often topped with some butter. Pancakes with maple syrup are often served with additional ingredients, most notably bacon or fruits.
Cooking tips
-
method
The go-to method is to separately mix the wet and the dry ingredients, and then combine them together; however, you can mix all the ingredients in a blender at once. For an airier texture, beat the egg whites separately, then fold them in into the batter. Also, since baking powder is added to the batter, the batter should be cooked immediately, so the air is not lost.

Pulled Pork Pancakes with Whiskey Maple Syrup
Ready in 45minThe following is the recipe for pancakes with pulled pork doused in rich whiskey maple syrup, a sweet-and-salty combo that works surprisingly well. The first step is making the pancake mix for the savory pancakes, a mix of different kinds of flour. For example, corn flour adds crunch, while buckwheat flour and coconut flour give a nutty flavor to the pancakes. The recipe suggests using leftover pulled pork, and if you want to go extra showy, top each stack of pancakes with a sunny-side-up egg.
