  • Quick and easy to make
  • Perfectly fluffy texture
  • Customizable with your favorite berries
  • Great for family gatherings or brunch parties
  • Can be made ahead and reheated

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (plus extra for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Berry Sauce

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk and melted butter until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  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 until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the berries break down slightly and the sauce thickens.
  8. Serve the pancakes stacked high, drizzled with the homemade berry sauce, and a splash of maple syrup on top.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use fresh berries for the best flavor, but frozen berries can work in a pinch.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter; it should be lumpy for the fluffiest pancakes.
  • Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you cook the rest of the batch.

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 and texture.
  • Experiment with different fruit sauces like peach or mango for a twist.

What to Serve With It

  • Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast
  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
  • Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein
  • Whipped cream for a decadent touch

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave. The berry sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and can be reheated on the stove.
