strawberry sour cream pancakes

pancakes are a huge hit in our house. anytime. i've experimented with bisquick, homemade batters, add-in's, syrups...  i've made this strawberry sour cream recipe several times with excellent results and very happy eaters.  i hope you like it!

strawberry sour cream pancakes: i eyeball a lot of my ingredients so this in generally a more or less kind of recipe.  add ingredients to achieve your desired consistency.
ingredients:
1 cup bisquick
1 egg
1/4-1/3 c sour cream
1/4-1/3 c milk
2 T sugar
1/2-3/4 c quartered strawberries (i used frozen and thawed them partially)
preparation:
mix together the first five ingredients, adding more milk or bisquick to achieve your desired consistency
fold in the strawberries; be gentle or your pancakes will turn pink
heat a griddle with a teaspoon of oil, spoon batter and spread out slightly. 
flip when bubbles pop and don't fill back in, 2-3 minutes.
second side goes faster, about 1-2 minutes.
yielded 14 pancakes
notes:
i have found that lowest heat setting yields the most even cooked, blonde colored pancakes.  it takes a little more patience, but definitely worth the effort. these go so fast i haven't had the chance to actually freeze this particular kind, but i have frozen blueberry, banana, applesauce, and regular pancakes very successfully.  just make sure to put them in a freezer bag, squeeze as much air out as you can, and seal it tight.  just pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds, sometimes less depending on thickness and size.

 my happy eaters dug right in!
