Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

How to Make Fluffy Strawberry Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- 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.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve warm, topped with additional strawberries and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Tips for the Best Results
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to enhance fluffiness.
- Use a spatula to gently flip the pancakes to avoid deflating them.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
Easy Variations
- Swap strawberries for blueberries or bananas for a different fruity twist.
- Add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus flavor.
- Sprinkle in some chocolate chips for a decadent touch.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
- A side of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Whipped cream for an indulgent finish.
