Strawberry Buttermilk Pancakes are a delicious twist on the classic pancake, filled with juicy bursts of fresh strawberries and the subtle tanginess of buttermilk. The buttermilk makes the pancakes extra fluffy, while the strawberries add a sweet, fruity flavor to each bite. These pancakes are perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch, and they pair beautifully with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. Easy to make and always a hit, they bring a bright, summery feel to your morning meal.
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 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Whisk the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Fold in the strawberries: Gently fold the diced strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Heat the skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra strawberries on top.
These Strawberry Buttermilk Pancakes are light, fluffy, and bursting with fresh berry flavor. Perfect for a special breakfast or weekend treat!
