Method

1.Sift flour into a large bowl. Stir in sugar. Make a well in the centre.

2.In a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg and butter. Add mixture to dry ingredients with strawberries, whisking until smooth.

3.To make praline; sprinkle nuts onto a non-stick baking tray. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil. Simmer without stirring for 10-12 minutes until golden. Pour toffee thinly over nuts. Cool. Break into pieces and process in a food processor until finely chopped.

4.Heat a large non-stick frying pan on medium. Brush with extra melted butter.

5.Drop level tablespoonfuls of pikelet mixture into pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface. Turn and cook other side for 1 minute or until golden.

6.Repeat with remaining mixture, brushing the pan as you go. Serve pikelets topped with cream and praline, and accompanied by extra strawberries.

Praline can be made in advance. Toast almonds if liked. Keep stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. These can be made into larger pancakes if liked.
