Ingredients
  

For the Pancake Batter:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with regular milk mixed with a splash of vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus additional for greasing the pan)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced

For the Whipped Cream:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches:

    - Begin by peeling and dicing the fresh peaches into small chunks. Set the diced peaches aside in a bowl to keep them fresh while you prepare the batter.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients:

        - In a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk everything together until well combined and there are no lumps.

          Combine Wet Ingredients:

            - In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

              Create the Batter:

                - Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir using a spatula until the two mixtures are just combined. It's perfectly fine if there are a few small lumps in the batter. Carefully fold in the diced peaches to incorporate them evenly.

                  Heat the Pan:

                    - Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, coating the surface to prevent sticking.

                      Cook the Pancakes:

                        - Spoon about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until it turns a gorgeous golden brown. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.

                          Make the Whipped Cream:

                            - In a clean mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks begin to form. Gradually sprinkle in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until the cream reaches medium peaks and is light and fluffy.

                              Serve:

                                - Stack the fluffy peach pancakes neatly on serving plates. Generously top each stack with a dollop of homemade whipped cream, and feel free to add extra diced peaches on top for decoration. For a finishing touch, drizzle some maple syrup over the pancakes to enhance their sweetness. Serve immediately while still warm.
