Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet into the oven while it preheats.
Combine the flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
Whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Once the oven and skillet have preheated, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the last tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the pan and sides evenly.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Top the pancake evenly with the strawberry slices and a few chocolate chips then sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of sugar.
Bake for 23-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and place a few more chocolate chips on top then allow to cool for a few minutes before sprinkling with powdered sugar. Serve with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy.
