These fluffy strawberry shortcake pancakes combine tender buttermilk batter with fresh diced strawberries and a whipped cream topping for a nostalgic, sweet breakfast treat perfect for brunch or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold (for whipping)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (or to taste)
  • Fresh strawberry slices for garnish
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice fresh strawberries and set aside. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Measure out dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in the diced strawberries carefully.
  5. Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with melted butter. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Keep pancakes warm on a rack in a low oven (200°F/90°C) while finishing the batch.
  6. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat cold heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Do not overwhip.
  7. Stack pancakes on plates, spoon a generous dollop of whipped cream on top, garnish with fresh strawberry slices, and drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay. Use fresh strawberries for best texture. Keep heat medium to avoid burning or undercooking. Let batter rest 5-10 minutes if possible. Whip cream until soft peaks form to avoid grainy texture. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a cooling rack in a low oven to prevent sogginess.
