Tips for Making Strawberry Pancakes
- Flip pancakes gently and look for bubbles to form before flipping them.
- Cook on low heat for fluffy, golden brown evenly cooked pancakes.
- Keep them small. Make smaller pancakes for easier flipping. They’ll cook faster and be less likely to fall apart.
- The consistency of the batter should be chunky. You do not want overly smooth pancake mix as it will not cook right in the pan.
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor.
- Use a 1/3 cup measure to make evenly-sized pancakes.
- Make sure your baking powder is not expired or your pancakes will not rise as much.
- Flip the pancakes when you see tiny holes appearing on the surface.
- Grease your skillet with butter for each new batch of pancakes, or they will be too dry and burn.
- Let the pancake batter sit for 10 minutes. You will have fluffier pancakes if the batter sits for 10 minutes after mixing it.

Storing them while warm can cause condensation, making them soggy. Once the pancakes are cooled place them in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag, if using a zip close bag, remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing. Store the pancakes in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
