I have had this recipe saved for ages, perhaps even years, in my "recipes to try" folder. Never got around to trying it until today. I must confess, in the past when I have wanted pancakes, I have bought the ready-made mix in the bottles that you add water to. Honestly, I think this recipe is almost as easy, and a much better lesson for the girls in what goes into our food. Plus, it's all ingredients that are usually in the pantry, so it's ready to go whenever we get a hankering for pancakes...

I didn't try the glazed strawberries, the girls just ate them with honey. I put the recipe here anyway so that we can try it out in future.
