Ingredients to make the strawberry pancakes
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar (8tbsp)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1tbsp melted butter
How to make these pancakes from scratch
1. Prep the strawberries
In a bowl, mix your strawberries with 5 tablespoons of sugar. Set aside for 10 – 15 minutes.
2. Mix dry ingredients
Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining granulated sugar (3 tablespoons) and salt. Mix well with a whisk until all the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Add wet ingredients
Add the melted butter and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring the batter. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain, but no longer than that to keep the batter light. Gently fold in the strawberry mixture into the pancake batter and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
4. Prep the skillet or griddle
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. A drop of water should sizzle and evaporate quickly when the skillet is ready. Use a paper towel to spread a thin layer of butter or oil on the skillet after it’s heated.
5. Cook your pancakes
Once the skillet is hot, ladle approximately 1/3 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
6. Enjoy!
Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional diced strawberries. You can also add other fruit like blueberries or bananas. Mint and yogurt are both also great additions.
Whether you’re making these for a special occasion or just because you deserve something delicious, this recipe will have everyone coming back for seconds. So grab your skillet, whip up this batter, and get ready to brighten your day one pancake at a time!
