Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly combined.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk 1 1/4 cups milk, 1 large egg, and 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter until smooth. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined; batter will be slightly lumpy.
3. Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake, cooking for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on surface and edges look set, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until golden brown.
4. Step 4: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 tbsp pure maple syrup and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
5. Step 5: To assemble, layer pancakes with sliced 1 cup strawberries and 1 cup blueberries between each layer. Top the stack with a generous dollop of maple whipped cream and additional berries for a festive finish.
