Equipment

mixing bowl
whisk
measuring cup(s)
pan, skillet, or griddle
spatula

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoon baking powder
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup vegetable oil
1-¾ cups whole milk
1 cup finely diced strawberries plus more for garnish, if desired

Instructions

Start by whisking together the flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl.
Add in the oil and milk and stir well.
Fold in the diced strawberries.
Spray your pan, skillet, or griddle with non-stick cooking spray and heat to just under 400F. Pour a scant ⅓ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface and cook until the batter starts to bubble and the edges are dry, approximately 1-2 minutes per side, or until you see bubbles on the top of the pancake.
Flip and continue to cook for another minute or 2, or until the bottom of the pancake is starting to turn a golden color, then remove from the pan and repeat until there is no more batter. Enjoy with more strawberries on top and your favorite syrup!

Notes

Dice the strawberries small so they cook evenly and don’t weigh the pancakes down.

Don’t overmix the batter. A few small lumps are just fine and help keep the pancakes fluffy.

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to give the baking powder time to work.

Use medium heat on the griddle so the pancakes cook through without burning on the outside.

Flip once when bubbles form on top and the edges look set for the best texture.

Lightly oil the pan between batches to prevent sticking without making them greasy.
