Ingredients
Scale
Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, melted butter, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream to prepare for making the pancakes and toppings.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt to ensure an even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the whole milk and egg until smooth, then gradually stir in the melted butter to incorporate fat and enhance flavor.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes fluffy and tender.
- Cook Pancakes: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1 minute or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Plate the warm pancakes and generously top with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream for a perfect strawberry shortcake flavor experience.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes; a few lumps are okay.
- Adjust the heat of the skillet to avoid burning the pancakes before they’re cooked through.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For a lighter option, consider using low-fat milk or a dairy-free alternative.
- Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or skillet.
