• Fluffy texture: Each pancake is light and airy, making them irresistible.
• Fresh strawberries: Adds a burst of flavor and a pop of color.
• Quick to prepare: Perfect for a lazy weekend morning.
• Customizable: Easy to adapt with different fruits or toppings.

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 melted butter
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Fluffy Strawberry Pancakes

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the sliced strawberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with extra strawberries if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps will lead to lighter pancakes.
• For even cooking, keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the pancakes.

Easy Variations

• Swap out strawberries for blueberries, bananas, or raspberries for a different fruity twist.
• Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients for extra flavor.
• Incorporate a dash of cinnamon for a warm spice note.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
• A side of yogurt or whipped cream for creaminess.
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing addition.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
