Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/4 cups whole milk and 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; lumps are okay.
  3. Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  4. Step 4: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  5. Step 5: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm 1/4 cup maple syrup until it begins to gently bubble. Add 1/3 cup chopped pecans and stir for 1 minute until toasted and fragrant.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the maple-pecan glaze over the stack of pancakes and serve immediately.
