Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
- Whisk
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- ¼ cup Unsalted Butter Melted for the batter
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour The base for the pancakes
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder For leavening
- ½ teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness
- ¼ cup Light Brown Sugar Adds sweetness
- 1 ¼ cups Buttermilk Makes the pancakes tender
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract For flavor
- 1 teaspoon Almond Extract Enhances flavor
- 2 large Eggs Room temperature for best results
- ¼ cup Strawberries Cut into quarters for topping
- ¼ cup Blueberries For topping
- ¼ cup Raspberries For topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. It's crucial that the oven is hot so that your pancakes rise properly. Grease a 9 x 13 baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Make sure it's completely melted and then let it cool slightly before mixing with the other ingredients.
- In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and light brown sugar. Ensure there are no lumps so that your pancakes are smooth.
- Add the buttermilk, almond extract, vanilla extract, cooled butter, and eggs into the dry mixture. Whisk until mostly smooth. Don’t worry if there are a few lumps; that’s perfectly fine!
- Pour the pancake batter into your greased sheet pan, making sure to spread it evenly. This ensures that every pancake bakes uniformly.
- Add the berries right on top of the pancake batter. Feel free to use other toppings you love as well.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 18 minutes. Keep an eye on them; your pancakes are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. After a few minutes, cut the pancakes into rectangles or squares.
- These can be served as is, or you can top them with additional berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of syrup for an extra sweet touch!
