Strawberries in the pancake and on the pancake. It’s a strawberry lovers DREAM. The only thing that might make these better… strawberry whipped cream!

Ingredients

• Buttermilk Pancake Batter (above)
• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1-2 Tbsp sugar
• Juice of 1 lemon
• powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the buttermilk pancake batter.
Slice half the strawberries into 1/8in slices and set aside
Dice the remaining strawberries into small chunks and place in a bowl. Add 1 Tbsp lemon juice and 1-2 Tbsp sugar (depending on how sweet you want them). Using a potato masher, smash the berries until they have broken down by half.
Prepare the skillet the same as you would for the buttermilk pancakes.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
After about 30 seconds of cooking, press 4-6 strawberry slices into the pancake. Use a toothpick to cover the strawberries with a little bit of batter from the pancake... being careful not to disrupt the bottom of the pancake.
Once the bubbles have formed and popped on the top of the pancake, flip it over and continue cooking until golden brown.
Serve covered with mashed strawberries, fresh grated lemon zest and a dusting of powdered sugar.
