This morning we realised that today is Shrove Tuesday a.k.a PANCAKE day! And as any tradition involving pancakes is good with me, I checked my cupboard. Many of our favourite restaurants and stores are still closed but thankfully I had all the ingredients (even the chocolate ice-cream)! I did happen to find one market open despite the New Year holidays and found that strawberry season has arrived! Woooho. The strawberries are extra HUGE and amazing. Seriously…they look even bigger in person!

Pancakes for two (leaving just enough for leftovers tomorrow!)

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

P.S this recipe is even better when you double the sugar and half the baking powder but that’s maybe just my baking powder!!

Happy Shrove everyone!
