Happy Pancake Day!

Rejoice fellow blogers, the day that liberates overeating is here for another year; HAPPY PANCAKE DAY!


However, as we all know....Pancake Day ( also known as Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent. So it is an excuse to use up all your yummy ingredients!
As a fellow fan of the celebration, I have typed up a recipe that is both yummy and nutritious:

Method

1. To make the strawberries in wine, heat the wine, vanilla and sugar in a large pan until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the liquid to the boil, then take off the heat. Drop in the strawberries, cover with a lid and leave the fruit to steep until cool.
2. For the griddle cakes, sift the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar. Make a well in the mix and tip in the egg, lemon juice and milk to make a batter. Add the sliced strawberries to the mix.
3. Heat a non-stick frying pan and add a little salted butter. Add spoonfuls of the batter to the pan to make small, thick pancakes. Cook over a medium heat until bubbles start to appear on the surface of the griddle cakes - about 2 or 3 minutes. Flip over and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes. If cooking in batches, keep the cooked ones warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.
4. Serve the griddle cakes warm with the wine-steeped strawberries.
