Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup strawberries, pureed
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 1 egg until fully combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in 1 cup of pureed strawberries into the batter, ensuring an even distribution of flavor and color.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbling, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- To create pancake art, use a squeeze bottle to draw shapes or designs on the skillet with the pancake batter before flipping them. Get creative with your designs!
- Serve the strawberry pancakes warm, topped with fresh strawberries, syrup, or whipped cream as desired.
Tips
- Use Fresh Strawberries: For the best flavor, opt for ripe, fresh strawberries. If you can, use organic strawberries for a sweeter taste and vibrant color.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix gently. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine!
- Perfect Pancake Art: To create fun designs, use a squeeze bottle for your batter. This allows for precise control when drawing shapes on the skillet. Practice on a piece of parchment paper first if you're feeling unsure!
- Keep Them Warm: As you cook each pancake, keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) to ensure they are all served hot and fluffy.
- Experiment with Toppings: While fresh strawberries are a must, don’t hesitate to get creative with toppings! Consider adding whipped cream, chocolate chips, or even a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Adjust the Heat: If your pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat slightly. Cooking them at a medium-low temperature ensures they cook through without burning.
- Make It a Family Activity: Get the kids involved in making pancake art! Let them design their pancakes, making breakfast a fun and interactive experience.
