Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Stir continuously while cooking for about 5–7 minutes until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
- Stir in the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan. Continue cooking for an additional 1–2 minutes until it reaches a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another medium bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Remember not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
- While waiting for the batter to rest, hull and dice additional fresh strawberries. Spread them on paper towels to dry slightly before folding them gently into your pancake batter just before cooking.
- Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface of each pancake and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another minute or two until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve your delicious Strawberry Pancakes warm with generous amounts of strawberry sauce on top. Add whipped cream if desired—enjoy every bite!
