Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush with melted butter; pour prepared batter to desired size pancakes and cook until bubbles appear and pancake is browned on the bottom; flip and cook until golden on remaining side. Repeat until all batter is used; serve with melted butter, sliced strawberries, and Strawberry Syrup.
