Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Toppings
- Fresh strawberries
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to distribute all the dry ingredients evenly.
- Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, large egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Heat skillet and cook pancakes: Warm a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease if needed. Pour batter onto the skillet to form individual pancakes.
- Cook until bubbles form: Cook pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Assemble Santa hats: Stack the pancakes on plates, then top each stack with whipped cream and arrange fresh strawberries on top to create the look of Santa hats, adding a festive touch to your breakfast.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries for vibrant color and flavor.
- You can substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the cooking heat if pancakes brown too quickly or remain undercooked inside.
- Whipped cream can be homemade or store-bought.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
