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.

    Strawberry Griddle Cakes ( Pancakes ??? ) sounds really good. Could the Griddle Cakes be frozen after they have cooled off - for use with fresh liquid at a later date ??

    @sw77 In reply to your question (as indeed, the milk does seem to be omitted) I have a similar recipe, which for 125g flour uses around 100ml milk (a little more or less, depending on the consistency you want - add a little at a time) to make a batter - you could try it with around 100ml milk.

    The Idea of this recipe is AWSOME!! However the directions for it are absolutely terrible, it says you need 525g of strawberry's, 1 bowl of 125g and another of 400g What on earth for!? it only ever tells you to use one of the two bowls. On top of that why doesnt it tell you how much milk you need... I guess you have to go with instinct on this recipe, but as a Student, I have found it very hard to follow, although the results were Tasty :)
