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.
