Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- 2
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, lightly beaten egg, and melted butter until well incorporated.
- 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- 4
Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the mixed berries into the pancake batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- 5
Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
- 6
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface before flipping. The edges should appear set.
- 7
Continue cooking in batches, adding more butter to the griddle as needed, until all batter is used.
- 8
Serve the pancakes immediately, topped with the remaining fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
