Jam-Packed Strawberry Pancakes 🍓🥞🍰
Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
1 1/2 cups wheat flour
2 tablespoons caster sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Strawberry Glaze:
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
For the Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions:
Prepare the Pancakes:
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the wheat flour, caster sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and pure vanilla extract.
Combine:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is fine.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
Prepare the Strawberry Glaze:
In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and caster sugar. Toss to coat. Let sit for about 15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices. Add lemon juice if desired.
Prepare the Whipped Cream:
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
Assemble the Pancakes:
Stack pancakes on a serving plate.
Spoon the strawberry glaze over the pancakes, including the strawberry juices.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
Serve:
Enjoy your delightful jam-packed strawberry pancakes warm, with extra strawberries and whipped cream on top.
