Now For Some Strawberry Pancake Recipe Making Tips.

When making these pink strawberry pancakes – be sure that the milk and eggs are at room temperature before getting started as then all the cooking times will be correct.

How do you warm up your pancake ingredients quickly?

You can warm up then pancake ingredients like the milk in the microwave in short 10 second bursts. For the warm eggs – Place the eggs in a bowl of warm water for about 5 minutes to bring them to room temperature

Fold the wet ingredients and dry ingredients together well so that it is smooth and the right consistency – especially if you are making cookie sheet pancakes.

How Do I keep my Strawberry Pancakes Warm?

To keep pancakes warm, set your oven to 200F degrees and place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Place them on the baking sheet and put them in the oven to keep warm.

These fluffy strawberry pancakes are everything you could want in a pancake recipe – fluffy, golden, super stackable if you make traditional pancakes, and the perfect way to start your morning. So make some for breakfast or dessert. And don’t forget the whipped cream!

Pancakes are best served immediately after making.

How do I store leftover pancakes?

Strawberry pancakes can be stored in the fridge for a few days in a Ziploc bag, or on a plate with plastic wrap.

How do You Make Strawberry Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce?

Start with Your Lightly Sweet Strawberry Sauce. To make the strawberry sauce. Add the strawberries (you can also use macerated strawberries with strawberry yogurt) to a saucepan and sprinkle with a little bit of granulated sugar. Simmer for eight to ten minutes stirring gently so it does not burn. Squeeze a tablespoon of lemon juice into the sauce.

To make simple pancakes

Heat a little canola or vegetable oil or cooking spray in a large skillet over medium heat. I like to use my cast-iron skillet. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet. Cook until you see bubbles appear on the surface and the sides are brown and slightly crispy. Flip using a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side. Serve warm with the fresh strawberry sauce.

What pan is best for cooking pancakes?

My favorite pan I use for cooking pancakes is a cast-iron skillet. This makes the crispy edges so yummy. However, if you like your edges not quite so crispy then you can use a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Also, a stove-top griddle works well too!

Can you substitute other fruit?

Yes, this recipe also works with other fruit even mangos as they slice and cook well.

If you make a sauce with the blackberries and the raspberries, reduce the simmering time for the sauce to about five minutes.
