3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined; do not overmix to keep pancakes tender.
4. Fold in the finely diced pear until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt ½ tbsp of butter, swirling to coat the surface.
6. For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through; adjust heat if browning too quickly.
8. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed to prevent sticking.
9. Serve pancakes warm. Tip: For extra flavor, top with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Dense yet fluffy, these pancakes offer a tender bite with bursts of soft pear in every forkful. The warm spices meld beautifully with the subtle sweetness, creating a comforting aroma that fills the kitchen. Try stacking them high with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a handful of toasted nuts for added crunch.
