Method
- Whisk the self-raising flour, sugar, egg, milk and vanilla until smooth.
- Slice the strawberries into rounds.
- Heat a lightly greased frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Lay a strawberry slice in the pan and spoon five small blobs of batter around it to make petals, letting them just touch.
- Cook until bubbles set on top, then flip and cook the other side briefly.
- Cool completely, then freeze in a bag — one goes into the lunchbox frozen in the morning and is ready by recess.
