How to Make Fluffy Strawberry Pancakes
1. Prepare the Strawberry Topping
- In a small bowl, combine sliced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice.
- 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
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries.
3. Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
4. Assemble and Serve
- Stack the pancakes on a serving plate.
- Top with macerated strawberries, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
- Serve immediately and enjoy these fluffy, fruity, and sweet strawberry pancakes!
