1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Prepare the Batter – Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix (some lumps are okay).

- Cook Pancakes – Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Portion the Batter – Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.

Notes
Avoid Overmixing – Keeps the pancakes light and fluffy.
Use Fresh Baking Powder – Ensures proper rise.
Frozen Strawberries? – Thaw and drain first to prevent excess moisture.
