Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Whipped cream for serving

How to Make Fluffy Strawberry Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg together. Add the melted butter and mix until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if necessary.
9. Serve the pancakes warm topped with whipped cream and additional fresh strawberries.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
• Avoid overmixing the batter; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
• Let the skillet heat properly before adding the batter to achieve a nice golden color.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.

Easy Variations

• Substitute blueberries or raspberries for strawberries for a different berry flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus twist.
• For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.

What to Serve With It

• Maple syrup or honey for drizzling
• Additional fresh fruit, such as banana slices or mixed berries
• A dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet touch
• Breakfast meats like bacon or sausage for a savory contrast
