Pancakes
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
- Whisk egg, milk and melted butter in a jug. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix to a thick batter.
- Heat a lightly buttered non stick pan over medium heat.
- Cook small pancakes using two tablespoons of batter each. Flip when bubbles appear and cook until golden. Keep warm.
- Arrange pancakes into a face on a plate. Use whole blueberries for eyes and raspberries for the hat trim and strawberries for the hat. Serve with cream, maple syrup and extra berries.
Festive strawberry tree
- Wrap the craft cone completely in plastic wrap so the fruit does not touch the cone.
- Starting at the base, push toothpicks into the cone so a little sticks out. Press a strawberry onto each toothpick. Work in neat rings up the cone, keeping gaps tight.
- Tuck mint leaves between strawberries to mimic foliage and cover any small spaces.
- Just before serving sift a light snowfall of icing sugar over the tree.
- Set the strawberry tree next to the pancake plate as an edible centrepiece.
