Description

Delight in these fluffy Strawberry Vanilla Pancakes, perfect for a sweet and fruity breakfast. Made with fresh strawberries and a hint of pure vanilla extract, these pancakes are light, tender, and easy to prepare in just 25 minutes.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Additional

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • Extra butter or oil for cooking


Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Prepare the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
  4. Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold the diced fresh strawberries into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Portion the Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated skillet, spacing them apart.
  7. Flip & Finish: Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2 minutes. Then flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm. Top with maple syrup, extra fresh strawberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a delicious finish.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
  • Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen, but be sure to thaw and drain them first.
  • For dairy-free options, substitute milk and buttermilk with plant-based alternatives.
  • If you prefer a sweeter batter, you can add an extra tablespoon of sugar.
  • Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned skillet for best results.
