Fluffy pancakes

This weekend we had lovely weather in Seattle. On Saturday I got a whole flat of fresh strawberries and some plants for my herb/veggie garden (more on that later). On Sunday I wanted to make something delicious with the strawberries for breakfast, but I didn't have a ton of time. I ended up making orange-scented fluffy pancakes with cut strawberries and maple syrup and I would highly recommend it! It's easy and impressively delicious! Parm would always make these for breakfast for Kristen and I on weekends and they were always a treat.

The general recipe is:
For 1-2 people
2 eggs
1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. milk
3-4 Tbsp butter

For 2-3 people
3 eggs
3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. milk
3-4 Tbsp butter

1. Melt the butter in a glass pie pan set in the oven. When the butter has just about melted, swirl the butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
2. Whisk the eggs
3. Whisk in the flour and then the milk.
4. Whisk until smooth and a bit bubbly - 20-30 second. It helps to add a dash of salt if you're using unsalted butter. I also like to add the zest of one lemon or orange, or add a bit of spice.
5. Bake 15-20 minutes until puffed and edges are golden brown.

Optional - Top with sliced fruit, powdered sugar and/or maple syrup.

Enjoy!
