Directions
In a small saucepan over medium low heat, add milk and butter. Stir until the butter is melted, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool off to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; whisk very well and set aside.
In a small bowl, beat the egg before adding the extract; mix well. Add the egg mixture to the milk mixture and stir well before adding it to the dry mixture. Whisk until the batter is smooth without over-mixing; let it rest for 15 minutes.
Add clarified butter to a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. When it gets hot, ladle on about ¼ cup of batter, and cook for 2 ½ to 3 minutes per side or until brown. Flip and cook the other side. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup.
