Raspberry Pancakes are a deliciously fruity twist on classic pancakes, offering a burst of tangy sweetness in every bite.

Perfect for a weekend brunch or a special breakfast treat, Raspberry Pancakes are easy to whip up and sure to bring a smile to your face. Their light and airy texture, combined with the juicy raspberries, make them a refreshing and satisfying way to start your day.
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
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Gently fold in the raspberries, taking care not to break them up too much.
- Heat the Griddle or Pan: Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the Raspberry Pancakes warm, topped with your choice of maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or additional raspberries.
These Raspberry Pancakes are a perfect way to elevate your breakfast with their light, fluffy texture and bursts of juicy raspberry flavor, making them a delightful treat for any morning.
