Delight in fluffy strawberry pancakes made with fresh diced strawberries folded into a sweet, tender batter. These pancakes are perfect for a comforting breakfast, served warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra strawberries.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (8 tbsp)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Fruit

  • 1 cup diced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is free of lumps.
  2. Prepare strawberries. In a separate bowl, toss the diced strawberries with the remaining 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Let them sit for a few minutes to draw out the natural juices and soften.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Add the melted butter and eggs to the dry mixture. Stir gently to incorporate. Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring continuously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
  4. Fold in strawberries. Carefully fold the sugared strawberry mixture into the pancake batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking the fruit pieces.
  5. Heat the skillet. Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot. Lightly grease if needed to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook pancakes. Pour roughly 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook on the first side until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip and brown. Flip each pancake carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm. Plate the pancakes and serve immediately with your preferred toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra diced strawberries for a delicious breakfast treat.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined.
  • Using fresh ripe strawberries enhances sweetness and flavor, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
  • Adjust skillet heat as necessary to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
  • Butter or oil can be used to grease the skillet lightly before cooking.
  • Double the recipe easily for larger gatherings.
