One of the great luxuries in life is waking up on the weekends, drinking your coffee, and leisurely cooking breakfast. As a kid, Sunday breakfast was always my job, and I took it very seriously. French toast was often my choice, but I also occasionally prepared pancakes (though I was never a very proficient pancake flipper) or waffles. Entertaining was in my blood early on, so on these Sunday mornings, I would sneak into our back yard, snip a few rose buds, or collect a few blackberries to enhance my breakfast menu. These days I still take the same joy in my weekend morning cooking. With left over strawberries from our CSA sitting in our refrigerator, I decided this morning to whip together some strawberry pancakes. I mixed up my favorite pancake batter from Bette’s Oceanview Diner in Berkeley, California (adding vanilla and a little wisp of cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg to the mix as well), and ladled it into a hot buttered skillet. I then added sliced strawberries (we also had a handful of left over raspberries), and prepared them as I would any other pancake. Served up with hot maple syrup, these summery breakfast treats feel like a vacation, any time of year. Enjoy!

Oh Wow. These look so so delicious. Strawberries are my favourite fruit – since I can remember. I need to make these next weekend! Where do I find your favourite pancake recipe?
Hello Hannah,
I went to school at UC Berkeley, and while living there, fell in love with the pancakes at Bette’s Oceanside Diner . I always use their recipe for buttermilk pancakes. And they always turn out wonderfully. Here is a link to a printable version online. Thanks for visiting. Enjoy!

What a great way to use strawberries. My husband and I went to the farmers market this morning and picked up some sweet strawberries. Pancakes is a good way to use them, thanks for the tip!
These pancakes definitely look delicious, and perfect for a relaxing weekend morning. 🙂 Adding the strawberries makes them them even more special!
Looks so good! Lucky you.
Wow do these strawberry pancakes look wonderful! I would love to make these for breakfast soon, I have to get me some strawberries!
I made blueberry buttermilk yesterday! Isn’t fresh produce delivered to the door wonderful?
Perfect for this time of year. My garden is starting to show promise with the strawberries. Seattle just needs a bit more sun. 🙂
These are lovely:)
These are perfect. I have just picked strawberries at a local farm in Ridgefield, Washington. I will be making these for dessert.
