Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk (or almond/oat milk)
1 large egg (or 1/4 cup applesauce + 1/2 tsp baking soda for vegan)
3 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup diced fresh strawberries
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Butter or oil for the griddle
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Bring together gently: Pour the wet mix into the dry and fold with a spatula just until combined. Batter should be slightly lumpy. Rest 5 minutes to allow baking powder to start working.
Prep the strawberries: Toss the diced strawberries with lemon zest if using and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess juice.
Preheat your pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Add a small knob of butter or splash of oil and wipe so the surface is lightly coated and shimmering but not smoking.
Scoop and top: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle. Immediately sprinkle 6–8 strawberry pieces onto each round.
Cook to golden: Cook about 2–3 minutes until edges show tiny bubbles and underside is golden. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and springy.
Keep warm and repeat: Transfer finished pancakes to a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
Optional glaze: Simmer 1/2 cup sliced strawberries with 1–2 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened; spoon over stacks if desired.
Serve immediately: Stack, add butter, drizzle maple syrup or honey, and scatter extra fresh strawberries on top.
