Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce

Prepare the pancake batter according to package directions or using your favourite pancake recipe, allowing it to rest for 2-3 minutes before cooking.

Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly butter or oil the surface.

Pour 1/4 cup pancake batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter.

Prepare the strawberry sauce by hulling and slicing fresh strawberries, then gently heating them in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir the strawberries occasionally until they begin to break down and release their juices, about 3-5 minutes.

Stack the warm pancakes on serving plates and top generously with the warm strawberry sauce.

Serve immediately while the pancakes are still warm.
