Prepare the Pancakes:
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the wheat flour, caster sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. (It’s fine if the batter is slightly lumpy.)
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set (about 2-3 minutes).
Flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Prepare the Strawberry Glaze:
In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and caster sugar, tossing to coat.
Let sit for about 15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
Add lemon juice if desired for extra flavor.
Prepare the Whipped Cream:
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until soft peaks form.
Assemble the Pancakes:
Stack pancakes on a serving plate.
Spoon the strawberry glaze, including juices, over the pancakes.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
