Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
How to Make Strawberry Delight Pancakes
Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix the diced strawberries with the remaining 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Let them sit for a few minutes to release their juices.
Step 3: Add the melted butter and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring. Mix until the batter is smooth and mostly free of lumps.
Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the pancake batter.
Step 4: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, ladle about ⅓ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Step 5: Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for about 1 minute more, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 6: Serve the Strawberry Delight Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional diced strawberries.
Important Recipe Notes
- Use fresh strawberries: Fresh, ripe strawberries work best and add the most flavor. Dice them into small, even pieces so they mix well into the batter.
- Let the strawberries sit with sugar: This helps release their natural juices and gives the pancakes more strawberry flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Mix just until the ingredients are combined. A few small lumps are okay and will help keep the pancakes soft.
- Watch the heat: Medium heat works best. If the skillet is too hot, the pancakes can brown too quickly before the centers are cooked.
- Use about ⅓ cup of batter: This makes pancakes that are a good size and easier to flip.
- Flip when bubbles appear: Wait until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set before flipping.
- Serve right away: These pancakes are best served warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra fresh strawberries.
