Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
- Crispy bacon (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined—remember, a few lumps are totally fine!
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, using a spatula to mold it into a heart shape. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then carefully flip and cook until golden brown.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with fresh strawberries, syrup, and whipped cream. If you like, add crispy bacon on the side for a savory touch.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter. These pancakes freeze well; lay them out on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then store in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.
