Peach and Nectarine Pancakes

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (2 cups)
• Baking powder (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Sugar (2 tablespoons)
• Milk (1 1/2 cups)
• Egg (1)
• Unsalted butter, melted (3 tablespoons)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Peaches, pitted and diced (2)
• Nectarines, pitted and diced (2)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Gently fold in the diced peaches and nectarines until evenly distributed in the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or spray as needed.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with rich maple syrup and topped with additional diced peaches and nectarines, if desired.
