In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of milk, 1 whole egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth.

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Cook Pancakes

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 0.25 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Berry Compote Preparation

Combine Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of mixed berries, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Cook Compote

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

Cool Down

Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly. It can be served warm or chilled.

Serving the Dish

Stack and Serve

On a plate, stack the pancakes and top them with the warm berry compote. Add maple syrup and whipped cream to taste.
