Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ounce freeze-dried strawberries
- 2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- Red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberry Powder: Add the freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse until they become a fine powder.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the prepared strawberry powder to evenly distribute the flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the milk, vegetable oil, and egg. For thinner pancakes, add extra milk as desired.
- Mix Batter: Use a whisk to stir the wet and dry ingredients until the batter is smooth. Add red food coloring if you want a more vibrant pink hue.
- Cook Pancakes: Preheat and grease a griddle over medium heat. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes immediately topped with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and syrup such as maple or strawberry.
- Storage: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days. Pancakes can also be frozen in Ziploc bags for quick future breakfasts.
Notes
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, you can increase the freeze-dried strawberries to 1.5 ounces.
- Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for an extra tender texture and tang.
- If you prefer gluten-free pancakes, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
- Adjust sweetness by modifying the sugar according to your taste.
- Ensure the griddle is properly heated before adding batter to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
