In a large bowl, mix the egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Add the liquid whey and combine everything well.
1 cup liquid whey, 1 egg, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract
Slowly add the flour to the wet mixture while stirring to avoid any lumps from forming. Add the baking powder and salt. Mix everything until you have a smooth pancake batter.
Melt about 1/2 tsp of butter in a small frypan on medium heat. Pour batter into the pan and bake the pancake on each side for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
2 tbsp butter
Remove it from the pan and continue making pancakes with the remaining batter.
Serve them with your favorite topping. I've added some serving suggestions in the text above the recipe.
