Strawberry Pancakes

So today I'm not in at work till 2pm so iv had a wonderful lie in followed by a scrummy pile of pancakes.


I took this recipe from the one and only Nigella Lawson (a genuine domestic goddess) and adapted it a little adding my own flare.. I think it has worked out well so I though I would share it with you guys.

What you will need -
* 1 table spoon of melted butter
* 1 egg
* 150g plain flour
* 1/2 tbs bicarbonate of sode
* 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar (plain will do just fine)
* Fresh strawberry's
* 1/2 cup of milk

What do to -

* Heat a non stick pan over a medium heat
* slice your strawberry's then add to pan and warm through
* Mix together dry ingredients then whisk in the wet to make a batter
* Take the strawberrys off the heat and add into the mixture
* wipe off your pan and return to the heat for a minute or so
* Spoon mixture into pan to create little pancakes about the size of the base of a wine bottle (always a good measuring device)
* when the pancakes start to form little bubbles on the surface its time to flip them over
* Cook on the other side for about a minute

Serve warm with maples syrup, strawberry jam, peanut butter anything you fancy really.

I also think this would work with a little cinnamon added into the dry mix and possibly a few dark chocolate chips wouldn't go a miss to.. yum! Will try that soon.

Enjoy Xx
