How to Make Strawberry Pancakes: A Complete Guide

Strawberry pancakes, or "strawberry pan cakes," are a delightful dessert combining soft, delicate pancakes with fresh strawberry filling and creamy whipped cream. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to make them at home.

### Ingredients

For the pancakes: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp salt, 1 large egg, ¾ cup milk, 2 tbsp melted butter.

For the filling: 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced), ½ cup heavy cream (whipped to stiff peaks), 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional for cream).

### Instructions

1. Make the pancake batter: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir until just combined (don’t overmix).

2. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake, cook until bubbles form on the surface (2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden. Repeat with remaining batter. Let pancakes cool.

3. Assemble: Place a pancake on a plate, spread a layer of whipped cream, add sliced strawberries, and top with another pancake. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Serve immediately for the best texture—these fluffy, fruity treats are perfect for afternoon tea or dessert!
