How to Make Fluffy Strawberry Pancakes

1. Prepare the Strawberry Topping

1. In a small bowl, combine sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice.
2. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices, creating a naturally sweet strawberry syrup.

2. Make the Pancake Batter

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
4. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries.

3. Cook the Pancakes

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
2. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
4. Repeat with the remaining batter.

4. Assemble and Serve

1. Stack the pancakes on a serving plate.
2. Top with macerated strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
3. Serve immediately and enjoy these fluffy, fruity, and sweet strawberry pancakes!
