Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped (plus extra for topping)
For Serving:
Maple syrup
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes, top with fresh strawberries, drizzle with maple syrup, and add whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use other berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry version.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
- For a chocolate-covered strawberry experience, sprinkle chocolate chips on the pancakes as they cook.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
