Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 skillet or griddle
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
- 1 toothpicks or skewers
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 large banana, sliced
- to taste - Maple syrup For serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Once the pancakes are cooked, let them cool slightly. Cut each pancake into quarters.
- On toothpicks or skewers, alternate threading pieces of pancake with slices of banana and strawberry, creating fun patterns.
- Serve the skewers drizzled with maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
You can customize your skewers with other fruits like blueberries or kiwi. For a healthier version, you can use whole wheat flour and reduce the sugar. These skewers can also be made ahead of time and warmed up before serving.
