Homemade Strawberry Pancakes Recipe

Homemade strawberry pancakes are one of my favorite ones. It doesn’t take a long time to make them and the result is always amazing. I have this recipe from my mother and she has it from her mother. I like strawberries a lot and that is why these pancake recipe is with addition of strawberries. But you can as well add any other fruit, chocolate chips, honey, cheese or any ingredient you like. It is really up to you what you will choose. You can also eat them without any extra ingredients.

To top the pancakes I used of course maple syrup, but I also like chocolate syrup with this pancakes. The other good idea is eating them with yogurt if you don’t like to eat a lot of calories at one time. When making the batter, remember that it is good to use two separate bowls and to have fresh ingredients. I am sure that thanks to this your pancakes will be tastier. To make these strawberry pancakes I used milk but you can use buttermilk instead of this or yogurt. Here is the recipe for delicious strawberry pancakes:

Ingredients:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to make homemade strawberry pancakes:
  1. In one bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
  2. In another bowl, mix egg, melted butter, milk and vanilla extract.
  3. Then, make a well in the centre of dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients into this well.
  4. Whisk wet ingredients and dry ingredients until combined, but don’t over mix the batter! It can have some lumps remaining. The will disappear during the cooking.
  5. Add strawberries.
  6. Heat a frying pan or a griddle over medium high heat and brush it with few drops of oil.
  7. When frying pan is hot enough, pour about ¼ cup of the batter on the surface of the frying pan.
  8. Cook pancake on one side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Then flip and cook again for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

Homemade Pancakes Recipe #4 - Easy Pancake Recipe

This easy homemade pancake recipe proves that you can prepare your favorite food that tastes even better than the boxed one. I love homemade pancakes and I often make them for breakfast, dinner or just as a snack.

I added sugar to my pancakes, but if you want to make them more healthy, you can omit sugar. It will obviously be less sweet but it still tastes great. Once the pancake batter is in the pan, dot the surface of the pancakes with raspberries, blueberries, chocolate chips or sliced banana. It is a great way to get some fruits in your diet.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

How to make pancakes:
  1. In one bowl mix dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. In a separate bowl mix eggs and milk, add Vanilla extract. Add dry mix to the wet mix and whisk until smooth. Don’t mix too long.
  2. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet on medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter into the frying pan. Cook on one side until the top begins to bubble, then flip over with spatula and cook for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Serve warm and with desired syrup.

Tips:

Adding spices increases the aromatic quality of the homemade pancakes. I personally like to add some Cinnamon or Cardamom. If you want to try pancakes with new spices, start with ½ teaspoon. If you like it, add more.

If you want to freeze pancakes, cool and wrap them in aluminium foil or place them in a freezer bag. Store up to a month. To reheat, place them in a single layer on baking sheet and cover with foil. Heat pancakes for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
