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
• Additional strawberries for topping
• Maple syrup for serving

How to Make Fluffy Strawberry Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
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 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
9. 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.
