Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsps baking powder
- 3 tbsps granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Create a smooth, uniform dry mixture by thoroughly blending flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Whisk milk and eggs together until achieving a consistent texture, then gradually incorporate melted butter into the liquid blend.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mixing until just combined – avoid overmixing to maintain pancake tenderness.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium temperature (around 375°F), lightly greasing surface if needed.
- Pour approximately ½ cup batter per pancake, allowing each to develop small bubbles across the surface (roughly 2-3 minutes).
- Carefully flip pancakes when bubbles appear and edges look slightly dry, cooking an additional 60-90 seconds until achieving a golden-brown color.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to serving plates, arranging them in an appealing stack.
- Generously crown pancakes with freshly sliced strawberries and a luxurious dollop of whipped cream.
- Serve immediately while pancakes remain warm and strawberries provide a vibrant, fresh complement to the fluffy texture.
Notes
- Customize the batter’s sweetness by adjusting sugar levels to match personal taste preferences.
- Chop strawberries into small pieces for even distribution throughout pancakes and easier eating.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother batter and more consistent pancake texture.
- Make pancakes gluten-free by substituting regular flour with almond or oat flour for dietary needs.
