Servings:4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup strawberries, stems removed and diced
Strawberry Sauce
- 1 cup strawberries, diced or quartered
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In smaller bowl combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until combined. (**batter should still be a bit lumpy, just stir with a spoon or whisk, don't use a hand-mixer) Gently stir in diced strawberries.
- Preheat griddle or large pan to 275 and spray with cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 -1/3 cup batter onto griddle. Cook 1-2 minutes until bubbles start to form in the batter, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
- For the strawberry sauce, combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan and stir over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer until ready to serve. Serve sauce over warm pancakes and top with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Makes about 8 large pancakes. Serve with a hearty dusting of powdered sugar!
