- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus extra for cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined (do not overmix).
- Gently fold in the cherries.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve pancakes topped with sliced almonds, maple syrup, and powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Fresh cherries can be substituted with frozen cherries; just thaw and drain excess liquid first.
- Toast almonds lightly in a dry skillet for extra flavor.
