Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, milk, eggs, melted butter, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream to have everything ready for an efficient cooking process.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt thoroughly to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the whole milk and eggs together until smooth; gradually add the melted butter, mixing gently to blend without overworking the eggs.
- Make Batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently using a spatula just until combined to keep the batter light and fluffy, avoiding overmixing which can make pancakes dense.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side for an additional 1 minute or until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the warm pancakes stacked, topped generously with fresh sliced strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream for the perfect strawberry shortcake flavor.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; lumps are okay.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Butter or non-stick spray can be used on the skillet to prevent sticking.
- To keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven.
