Strawberry Pancakes

Either use a mix you get from the store (I find Greens Original to be the best consistency) to which you add water and shake vigorously or make your own pancake mix if you prefer. (I won't detail that here because everyone has their own preferences)

Use a large flat pan - mine is about 25cm and shallow. Add butter to the pan and allow to heat up (I find just over half way on the jet tends to be a good heat}. The butter should be bubbling but not boiling.

Pour in the mix and spread over the pan by tilting so the mix covers the base but is not too thick or thin.

When bubbles appear it should be ready to turn - a flat spatula is best - slide it under and back and forth then turn in one motion,

You can store them in the oven on a plate at moderate heat for about 10 minutes.

Take the pancakes and spread a bit of butter and Strawberry conserve across the middle {I find IXL best as it has a good helping of strawberries in the conserve} Cut a strawberry up and place it in the middle and then roll the pancake and place to one side of the plate {2 per serve}.

Put a scoop of ice cream in the centre, with a drizzle of Strawberry flavouring around the plate and then sprinkle icing sugar over the top.
