Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 400 ml buttermilk (or natural yogurt)
- 300 g flour
- 2 eggs
- 75 g butter
- 100 g sugar
- 1 packet baking powder (10 g)
- A pinch of salt
- Vanilla (optional, for extra flavor)
- 200 g fresh strawberries
- A little oil for frying

Preparation steps:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the buttermilk is at room temperature. If using yogurt, it will provide a richer taste and softer texture. Meanwhile, melt the butter over low heat and let it cool.

2. The strawberries: Wash the strawberries well and cut them into small pieces. Sprinkle with a little sugar and set aside for a few minutes. This trick will help release the natural juices of the fruit, giving them an intense flavor.

3. Mixing dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This step is essential to avoid lumps in the batter. If desired, add a pinch of vanilla for a more aromatic taste.

4. The wet mixture: In another bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk, then add the melted butter (make sure it's cooled), the buttermilk, and mix well until combined.

5. Combining ingredients: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and gently mix, just until combined. It is important not to overmix, as the pancakes will become denser. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes; this time will help the gluten relax and make the pancakes fluffier.

6. Cooking the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Use a ladle to pour the batter into the skillet, forming the pancakes. Top with a few pieces of strawberries to infuse them with flavor. Cover with a little pancake batter to protect them from burning.

7. Flipping the pancakes: Wait for bubbles to form on the surface of the pancake, then carefully flip them using a spatula. Cook on the other side until golden.

8. Serving: Once all the pancakes are ready, serve them warm, alongside a drizzle of honey and a spoonful of yogurt. The flavors combine perfectly, and the fluffy texture of the pancakes will be appreciated by everyone.

Practical tips:
- Always use fresh ingredients, especially strawberries, to achieve a more intense flavor.
- You can replace strawberries with other seasonal fruits, such as blueberries or bananas, to vary the recipe.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick version by adding a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 400 ml of regular milk, letting it sit for five minutes.

Nutritional benefits:
These pancakes are a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats from butter. Adding strawberries provides vitamins C and K, as well as fiber, aiding digestion.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I make these pancakes vegan?
- Yes, you can replace the eggs with a mashed banana or a combination of flaxseeds with water. Use plant-based milk instead of buttermilk.

2. How can I store the pancakes for later consumption?
- You can store the pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or freeze them. Make sure to separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

3. What drinks pair best with these pancakes?
- Fresh coffee, aromatic tea, or a fruit smoothie are excellent choices to accompany these pancakes.
