Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cups almond milk (plus more as needed; any milk will work)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly, or a neutral oil, plus more for the pan)
Additional Ingredients
- 1½ cups strawberries (sliced, more if needed)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the almond milk, egg, and melted butter or neutral oil together until smooth.
- Make the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined, allowing a few lumps to remain. Fold in half of the sliced strawberries. If the batter feels too thick, thin it by adding almond milk one tablespoon at a time.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly brush with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a ⅓ cup scoop, pour the batter onto the skillet. Cook each pancake for 1 to 2 minutes per side until puffed, golden brown, and cooked through. Adjust heat to low if the outsides brown too quickly before the middle is fully cooked.
- Serve: Serve pancakes hot with remaining sliced strawberries, a pat of butter, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Use neutral oil instead of butter for a dairy-free variation.
- If your batter is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding milk a tablespoon at a time for fluffier pancakes.
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen but thawed strawberries if fresh are unavailable.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven if making large batches.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
