Strawberry Pancakes

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Baking powder

2 teaspoons

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Granulated sugar

2 tablespoons

Milk

1 cup

Egg

1, beaten

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Butter

2 tablespoons, melted, plus more for cooking

Fresh strawberries

1 cup, sliced

Maple syrup

for serving

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.
6. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and fluffy.
7. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional sliced strawberries for an extra touch of sweetness.
