Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (raspberries and blueberries)
  • Maple syrup for serving

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Fresh Berries

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  3. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the pancakes become fluffier.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of melted butter to coat the surface.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Add a few fresh berries on top of each pancake before flipping.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are normal and will help keep the pancakes fluffy.
  • Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • Experiment with other fruits like sliced bananas or diced peaches.
  • For a chocolate twist, fold in some mini chocolate chips into the batter.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
  • A dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • A side of yogurt for a creamy complement.
  • A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or a toaster oven until warmed through.
