Strawberry recipes from iVillagers

These thick, gooey pancakes taste really delicious with mild, creamy Lancashire cheese and fresh strawberries. It might sound a bit strange but they go so well together!

100g self-raising flour
2 tbsp caster sugar
25g butter
150g Lancashire cheese, crumbled
1 large egg, beaten
150ml milk
rind and juice of 1 lemon
175g strawberries, halved
3 tbsp strawberry jam
2 tbsp strawberry liqueur (optional)
oil, for cooking pancakes

1. To make the pancakes, mix the flour and sugar together in a bowl and rub in the butter. Stir in 50g of the cheese. Make a well in the centre, pour in the egg and enough milk to make a thick batter. Stir in the lemon rind.
2. To cook the pancakes, heat a drop of oil in a non-stick frying pan, then drop in spoonfuls of the mixture in 3-inch rounds. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then turn over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes till golden brown. Repeat till you’ve used all the mixture (keep the done ones somewhere warm).
3. To make the topping, mix 1 tbsp lemon juice, the strawberries, jam and liqueur together. You can either have the sauce cold, or heat gently till warm.
4. To serve, place 3 or 4 pancakes on a plate, pour over some of the sauce and top with a sprinkling of cheese. Wow!!

Boozy Strawberries
From iVillager jimmy_t

Take a desired quantity of strawberries, wash and cut into quarters or halves, depending on their size. Place in a large glass bowl and pour over caster sugar. Add a good helping of cointreau and Archer’s Peach Schnapps, cover with cling film and leave in fridge for 1-2 days. When ready serve over vanilla ice cream, and enjoy.
