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 until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined—don’t worry about a few lumps!
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly greasing it with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, using a spatula to shape it into a heart.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook until golden brown.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with fresh strawberries, syrup, and whipped cream. For a savory touch, add crispy bacon on the side if you like.
Notes
Consider using whole wheat flour for a healthier twist. Dairy-free substitutes like almond milk can replace buttermilk if necessary.
