Ingredients:

Serves: 3

Yield: 12.0 pancakes

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (plus more for serving)
• 2 cups strawberries, sliced
• pure maple syrup, for serving

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk and vanilla. Preheat a nonstick griddle over medium heat.
2. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir in the melted butter. The batter should be thick and smooth. Fold in the strawberries.

The dough was really thick so I added more milk. It was easier to do the pancakes. Another time I may try to puree the strawberries and fold them in the batter. The taste is so good. Thanks Kate :) Made for Photo tag

Made a batch & a half since we had overnight guests, & pretty much followed the recipe right on down! The strawberries I had were ripe & flavorful & the 'cakes were very satisfying! Although the other three had them with maple syrup, I liked mine topped with light Karo syrup! Thanks for posting this great recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag]

I followed the recipe exactly, but I didn't quike like it, sorry. The pancakes were okay with a dessert sauce, but on their own I though they were too bland.
