Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Fresh berries for topping
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes with Berry Sauce

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the buttermilk and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to 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. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
6. While pancakes are cooking, prepare the berry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed berries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently until the berries break down slightly and the sauce thickens.
7. Once the pancakes are done, stack them on plates, drizzle with the warm berry sauce, and top with fresh berries. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and fluffiness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be lumpy for the fluffiest pancakes.
• Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the mixed berries for chocolate chips or banana slices for a different flavor profile.
• Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a cozy touch.
• For a healthier twist, use whole wheat flour or almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast
• Whipped cream or Greek yogurt for added creaminess
• A side of fresh fruit salad for a refreshing touch
• A hot cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness
