Strawberry pancakes

INGREDIENTS for about 10 pancakes
150 g Italian '00' flour
1 egg
200 ml milk
30 g butter
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
Half a teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
200 g strawberries
Grated lemon zest
1 pinch salt
Icing sugar
Strawberry jam

I combine whole egg and two tablespoons sugar.

I add salt and whisk by hand.

I sift in flour.

I add teaspoon baking powder.

Then bicarbonate.

Then milk.

Then 20 g melted butter, reserving 10 g for greasing.

I grate in lemon zest.

I add finely chopped strawberries.

I grease a heated non-stick pan with remaining butter. A divided pan open at the centre gave imperfect pancakes, so I used a small individual pan, one small ladleful at a time.

After a few minutes, once set underneath, I turn and cook.


I dust with icing sugar and serve with strawberry jam. Ideal for breakfast or a snack with milk.
