Ingredients
Scale
Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Toppings
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Prepare wet mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
- Heat skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if necessary to prevent sticking.
- Cook pancakes: Pour small ladlefuls of batter onto the hot skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble Santa hats: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate. Top each pancake stack with a dollop of whipped cream and arrange sliced strawberries on top to resemble the shape of Santa hats, with whipped cream mimicking the fluffy trim and pom-pom.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best appearance and flavor.
- Serve immediately for warm, fluffy pancakes and optimal whipped cream texture.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
- To keep pancakes warm while making the full batch, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C).
