Strawberry Pancakes

I am a HUGE fan of strawberries, and I LOVE pancakes, so the combination of the two is perfection for me!! I hope you enjoy these pancakes as much as I did. Below is a recipe for homemade maple syrup as well-- optional, but highly recommended!


Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 1 egg
• 1 c milk
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 2 cups sliced strawberries (you can substitute the strawberries for any fruit or even chocolate chips)

Directions:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, mix the egg, milk, honey, and butter.
• Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the egg, milk, honey, and butter mixture.
• Mix until combined.
• Fold in the strawberries.
• Pour 1/4 cup of batter on heated griddle.
• Cook each side until lightly browned. The pancake may look a little doughy when fully cooked, but it's just because of the strawberries that are in it.

Optional Maple Syrup:

• 1 c sugar
• 1 c brown sugar
• 1 c water
• 1 c corn syrup
• 1 tbsp of maple flavoring

Directions:

• Bring sugars, water, and corn syrup to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes.
• Take off of heat and add maple flavoring. Store syrup in refrigerator.
