Strawberry shortcake pancakes topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream turn breakfast into a vegetarian family celebration. These beautiful, fruity pancakes are a fresh, indulgent weekend morning treat.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract thoroughly; ensure butter is cooled before combining.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined—do not overmix to keep pancakes fluffy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly oil the surface and pour 1/3 cup batter for each pancake—cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
Stack cooked pancakes, top generously with sliced fresh strawberries and whipped cream; serve immediately while warm.
