Ingredients

• 1 cup 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
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Fresh Berries

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh raspberries, blueberries, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
• Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking to enhance fluffiness.
• If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
• Make sure your skillet is properly heated before adding the batter to ensure even cooking.

Easy Variations

• Substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra flavor.
• Experiment with different fruits like sliced bananas or strawberries.
• For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and a plant-based butter substitute.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.
• A side of scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.
• Smoothies for a refreshing drink pairing.
