Spiced Strawberry and Pineapple Pancakes

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a homemade buttermilk.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.

3. 3

   Add the buttermilk mixture and vanilla essence to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, keeping it slightly lumpy for that fluffy texture.

4. 4

   Gently fold in the diced strawberries and pineapple, careful not to squish the fruit.

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.

6. 6

   Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

7. 7

   Serve warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or more fresh fruit!
