Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into the cooking process!
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
We’ll start by whisking together the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mixing them well ensures our pancakes will be light and fluffy.
Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, we’ll mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until everything is nicely blended. This is where the magic happens! When we pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, it’s essential to combine them just until there are no dry spots left. A few lumps are perfectly fine—overmixing can make our pancakes tough, and we want them soft and tender.
Step 3: Fold in the Raspberries
Here comes the best part! We gently fold in the fresh raspberries. If we’re using frozen raspberries, we can add them directly to the batter. Just remember, they might color the batter a little, but that just adds to the charm!
Step 4: Heat the Griddle
Let’s heat our griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter. We want it to sizzle a little—this means it’s the perfect temperature for cooking our pancakes.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Once the skillet is hot, it’s time to scoop! Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, we pour the batter onto the skillet. If we want to make our pancakes even fluffier, let’s cover them and cook for about 2-3 minutes. When bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, it’s time to flip them over and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
Once our pancakes are golden brown, we stack them high on a plate and drizzle them with maple syrup. A dusting of powdered sugar adds a touch of sweetness and a beautiful finish. Don’t forget to garnish with a few extra raspberries for that stunning pop of color!
These raspberry pancakes are a delightful way to start any day, and we hope you enjoy making them as much as we do! Perfect for lazy weekends or special brunches, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. So grab your mixing bowl, get creative, and let’s make breakfast magic happen together!
Happy cooking, Lykkers!
