Note
Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave or toaster oven.
Substitutions: If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. Fresh strawberries can be replaced with frozen, but thaw and drain them first to avoid watery batter.
Tips: Do not overmix the batter, as this will make the pancakes tough. Let the griddle heat up fully before adding batter to ensure proper browning.
