Whipped Cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons (20g) powdered sugar

Pancakes

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup (90g) yellow cornmeal
3 tablespoons (45g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons (10g) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (4g) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (4g) kosher salt

Instructions

Strawberry Sauce

Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Allow sauce to simmer 2-3 minutes until strawberries are slightly reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Whipped Cream

Combine heavy cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat on high speed until cream reaches stiff peaks. Store whipped cream in refrigerator until ready to use.

Pancakes

In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk until smooth. In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold flour mixture into liquid until batter is just combined.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with butter. Working in batches, drop pancake batter by heaping 1/4 cupfuls onto hot skillet and allow to cook 2-3 minutes on each side until pancakes are golden brown. Repeat cooking method with remaining batter, adding more butter to skillet as needed.
Layer whipped cream and strawberry sauce between layers of 3 pancakes per serving. Dust pancakes with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Enjoy!
