Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all required ingredients including flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, melted butter, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt until fully combined and aerated to promote fluffiness in the pancakes.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the whole milk and eggs together until smooth. Gradually stir in the melted butter to incorporate evenly.
- Form Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and gently fold the two together using a spatula until just combined, careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
- Preheat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm thoroughly before cooking to ensure even browning.
- Cook Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1 minute until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Transfer pancakes to plates and top with fresh sliced strawberries and a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk of choice, but it may slightly alter the texture.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle powdered sugar over the pancakes before serving.
- These pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven (around 200°F) if preparing for a crowd.
