Pancakes With Peach Syrup Recipe 

Pancake Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Peach Maple Syrup Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps

  1. Firstly, we make the peach maple syrup. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced peaches, water, and lemon juice.

  2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.

  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the syrup has thickened, about 15 minutes.

  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.

  5. Set aside to cool slightly.

  6. Now to prepare the pancake batter, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

  7. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

  8. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

  9. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.

  10. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges start to look set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  11. Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter.

  12. Stack the pancakes on a plate and generously drizzle with the homemade peach maple syrup. Garnish with a few extra peach slices if desired, and enjoy your delightful meal.

 A true celebration of life’s simple pleasure and seasonal flavours. There is no better time to enjoy this fresh and sweet fruit at its peak.
