Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt until no lumps remain.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg until frothy, then stir in 3/4 cup milk and 2 tbsp melted butter until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix); let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with cooking spray; drop 1/4 cup portions of batter for each pancake, spacing them 1 inch apart.
  5. Step 5: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Transfer pancakes to a plate and top each with 1/2 cup diced strawberries, 1/4 cup plain yogurt, and 2 tbsp mini cheese cubes for a colorful 'pizza' effect.
