Equipment

whisk
large and medium bowl
frying pan
saucepan

Ingredients

For the pancakes:
2 large eggs
180ml milk
120ml water
120g Gem plain flour
45g melted butter
For the topping:
100g strawberries, fresh or frozen
1 tbsp Gem caster sugar
50g cream cheese
50g whipped cream, plus extra for topping
5 digestive biscuits, crushed
Gem chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, flour and butter until smooth.

Cover and refrigerate for one hour.

Melt some butter in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Pour some batter into the bottom of the pan, then lift and tilt the pan around so the batter forms an even coating.

Cook for 40 seconds (or until side is golden brown), then flip and cook for another 10-15 seconds. Keep warm.

Add the strawberries and sugar to a saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring regularly, for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and whipped cream until combined, then gently stir through half of the berry mixture.

Use the mixture to fill the pancakes, then top with more whipped cream and a drizzle of the berry sauce.

Sprinkle over the crushed biscuits.

Notes

Sprinkle some Gem chocolate chips over the warm pancakes for extra flavour. Perfect with the sweet berry sauce, whipped cream, and crunchy shortbread!
