Peach and Plum Pancakes

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (1 cup)
• Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
• Milk (3/4 cup)
• Egg (1, beaten)
• Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons, melted (plus extra for cooking))
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Peaches (1 cup, diced)
• Plums (1 cup, diced)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
4. Gently fold in the diced peaches and plums, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with melted butter or cooking spray.
6. For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with additional diced peaches and plums, if desired.
