Pancakes with caramel strawberries, blueberries, and honey is a delicious breakfast dish that is easy to prepare and perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. The pancakes themselves are fluffy and light and are made with simple ingredients such as flour, eggs, milk, and sugar.
The really distinctive ingredients in this dish are the toppings. Fresh strawberries and blueberries are cooked with caramel sauce until they are soft and gooey. The sweet and tangy berries are then spooned over the warm pancakes, and a drizzle of honey is added for extra sweetness.
How To Make:
To prepare this dish, start by making the pancake batter. In a mixing basin, mash together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter in another basin. Stir continuously until the batter is smooth, and gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet components.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tiny quantity of butter or oil. The batter should be poured onto the skillet using a 1/4 cup measuring cup. Two to three minutes should be spent cooking the pancakes on each side, or until golden brown.
While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the toppings. In a small saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, blueberries, and caramel sauce. Cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the berries are soft and the sauce has thickened.
To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate and spoon the warm berry mixture over the top. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately.
This dish is perfect for a lazy weekend brunch or a special occasion breakfast. It is sure to impress your family and friends with its beautiful presentation and delicious flavor.
Tips and Variations:
Variations:

Tips:
Make sure your pancake batter is smooth and lump-free for fluffy and tender pancakes.
To avoid the pancakes sticking and burning, use a nonstick griddle or pan.
Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and texture.
To caramelize the strawberries, heat a skillet over medium heat, and add sliced strawberries and a tablespoon of sugar. Cook until the sugar melts and coats the strawberries, about 5-7 minutes.
Drizzle honey over the top of the pancakes just before serving for a sweet and sticky finish.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a sizable mixing bowl.
In another mixing bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Just incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Do not overmix. Heat a griddle or nonstick pan to medium-high. Wait for the butter to soften before adding it to the pan. To pour the batter onto the pan, measure out 1/4 cup. Cook until the surface of the pancake is covered in bubbles and the edges start to dry out about 2-3 minutes. When the pancake is halfway cooked, flip it over and cook it for a further one to two minutes.
Apply extra butter to the pan as necessary and repeat with the remaining batter.
In a separate pan, heat the strawberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar over medium heat. Cook until the sugar melts and the strawberries are caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate, top them with caramelized strawberries and blueberries, and drizzle with honey. Add a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
