Simple Strawberry Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (plus extra for topping)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Make the Batter:
   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—a few lumps are okay! Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
4. Cook the Pancakes:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Serve:
   Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with additional strawberries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
