Pancakes- Strawberry Shortcake Style

Breakfast just doesn't get much better than this! I have gone through 4 pints of strawberries in the last few days because I can't keep my hands off of these. I don't suggest using cool whip. It just doesn't taste as good as whipping cream. And I don't suggest using whipping cream from the can. Nothing can immitate the taste of old fashioned whipped cream. I would suggest that you first start with your strawberries. It takes several minutes for the sugar to work up a syrup. They can rest while you make your pancakes and whipping cream. I used my buttermilk pancake recipe for these, but you could use your favorite pancake or waffle recipe.

Strawberries and syrup

Simple. Mix the following and let sit for about 15 minutes:

1 pint strawberries, diced small
1/2 cup sugar

Whipping Cream:

Most people know how. But just in case.

Mix the following for about 4 minutes on high. Don't over mix or you'll get butter.

1 pint heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar

Butter milk Pancakes:

Mix:

2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
2 T oil

Add:

2 cups flour ( I used 1/2 cup wheat, 1/2 cup oat flour)
2 T sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

  2. I had Ryan make these pancakes for mother's day. They were so good! and of course, real whipping cream. It was hard not to take spoonfuls of that creamy yummy-ness
