Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt until combined.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/4 cups milk, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; gently fold in 3/4 cup fresh blueberries.
- Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden.
- Step 5: While pancakes cook, combine 1 cup quartered fresh strawberries with 1 tbsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp powdered sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes until strawberries soften and sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 6: Serve pancakes stacked with warm strawberry sauce spooned over the top.
