Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 non-stick skillet or griddle
- 1 spatula
- 1 skewers (wooden or metal)
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 medium strawberries hulled and halved
- 2 large bananas 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 a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Once pancakes are cooked, allow them to cool slightly, then start assembling the skewers.
- On each skewer, alternate threading pancakes, strawberry halves, and banana slices until you fill the skewer. Aim for 2 pancakes, 2 strawberries, and 2 banana slices per skewer.
- Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
You can customize the skewers with other fruits like blueberries or peaches.
For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the pancake batter.
These skewers can be prepared ahead of time; just reheat the pancakes before assembling.
