Okay, here’s my blog post about making strawberry pancakes using pancake mix, written in the style you requested:
Alright, so this morning I woke up craving pancakes. But not just any pancakes. I wanted those fluffy, diner-style ones with bits of real fruit inside. I had some strawberries in the fridge that were about to turn, so I figured, why not? Strawberry pancakes it is!
Now, I’m no chef. I’m all about keeping things simple. So, I grabbed a box of my trusty pancake mix – the kind where you just add water. No shame in my game!
Getting Started
- First things first, I washed and diced those strawberries. I aimed for pieces about the size of my pinky nail, nothing too fancy.
- Next, I followed the instructions on the pancake mix box. Usually, it’s something like a cup of mix to 3/4 cup of water. I always eyeball the water, though. I like my batter a little thicker, so I tend to use a tad less water than recommended.
- Then, I gently folded in the diced strawberries. You don’t want to overmix it, or the pancakes will get tough. Just mix until the strawberries are evenly distributed.
Cooking Time
I heated up my non-stick pan over medium heat. You don’t want it too hot, or the pancakes will burn on the outside before they cook through. A little patience is key here.
I used a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the hot pan. This helps keep the pancakes all roughly the same size. Once the batter was in the pan, I let it do its thing. I didn’t mess with * way to cook is, waiting for bubbles to start forming on the top and the edges to look set.
Then, using spatula flipped that, and it’s golden-brown perfection! I cooked the other side for another minute or two, until it was cooked through.
The Finishing Touch
Once the pancakes were all cooked, I stacked ’em up high. I added a little pat of butter and a drizzle of * that is all I need to make it great.
Honestly, these turned out way better than I expected! The pancake mix made things super easy, and the fresh strawberries added a burst of flavor. It was a simple, satisfying breakfast that felt a little bit special. Definitely making these again!
