Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (for sauce and garnish)
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for pancakes)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Make the Strawberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine hulled and sliced strawberries with sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in cornstarch mixed with water and cook until syrupy.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined; it's okay if there are lumps. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes.
- Cook: Preheat your non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form; flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve: Top pancakes with the warm strawberry sauce and fresh strawberries.
