Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional for thicker compote)
Wet Ingredients and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a spacious mixing bowl, ensuring a uniform dry base for the pancakes.
- Whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate container until the liquid ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Create the batter by gently combining the wet and dry mixtures, stirring minimally to avoid overmixing. Small lumps are perfectly acceptable and contribute to a tender texture.
- Delicately fold the freshly chopped strawberries into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle to medium heat (around 350°F), lightly coating the surface with butter to prevent sticking.
- Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, allowing them to cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles emerge and edges appear slightly dry.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, achieving a golden-brown exterior that hints at a crisp, caramelized finish.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate, maintaining their temperature and fluffy texture while preparing the remaining batch.
Notes
- Fold strawberries gently to prevent crushing, maintaining beautiful fruit chunks throughout the pancakes.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and more even cooking results.
- Opt for fresh, ripe strawberries to enhance natural sweetness and vibrant flavor profile.
- Freeze extra pancakes by layering between parchment paper for quick weekday breakfast options.
