These Strawberry Pancakes are fluffy and sweet with fresh strawberries, maple syrup, and whipped cream and will make any breakfast or brunch extra special.
Strawberry Pancakes
Make ordinary pancakes extraordinary by making these strawberry pancakes. I use my Old Fashioned Fluffy Pancakes recipe as the base and add chopped fresh strawberries and then top them with maple syrup, more strawberries, and whipped cream.
These simple additions of the strawberries and whipped cream really dress up the pancakes and make them pretty and fun. They are perfect to serve on Mother’s Day, or Valentines Day, for birthdays, or for a weekend breakfast or brunch.
Strawberry Season and Strawberry Festivals
I know it is strawberry season when the Poteet Strawberry Festival comes around. Each year people from the local strawberry farms come together to celebrate and the sweet, wonderful, incredible strawberry. It is one of my favorite Spring festivals.
At the strawberry festival, the food is out of this world. They have strawberry shortcake, (of course), as well as various strawberry pies, and strawberry cheesecakes. I also love u pick strawberry farms as well.
What makes the strawberry festivals fun and enjoyable are all the sweet, juicy fresh strawberries. The fresh strawberries make a big difference in the recipes, especially this strawberry pancakes recipe.
