Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour Spoon and leveled
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder For maximum lift
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar For sweetness
  • 1 ¼ cups milk Room temperature
  • 1 large egg Room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon rose water Culinary grade
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Chilled completely for the filling
  • 3 tablespoon strawberry puree To tint the cream pink
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar Plus extra for dusting
  • 2 tablespoon edible rose petals For garnish
  • 4 whole fresh strawberries For topping

Equipment

  • 1 Large nonstick griddle For cooking the pancakes evenly
  • 2 Mixing bowls For separating wet and dry ingredients
  • 1 Hand mixer For whipping the heavy cream
  • 1 Silicone spatula For folding the batter gently

Method
 

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl to build the dry base so the pancakes rise evenly.
  2. Blend the milk, egg, melted butter, and rose water in a separate dish to prepare the liquids so they are perfectly smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently to create a lumpy batter so it stays airy.
  4. Beat the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form to prepare the filling.
  5. Fold the strawberry puree gently into the whipped cream to tint it so it becomes a beautiful soft pink color.
  6. Cook a quarter cup of batter on a hot greased griddle for two minutes per side to form the cakes so they turn golden.
  7. Stack the slightly cooled pancakes with thick layers of pink cream between them to assemble the dish so it stands tall.
  8. Garnish the top with plain whipped cream, fresh strawberries, powdered sugar, and dried petals so it looks stunning.

Notes

Allow the cooked pancakes to cool slightly before spreading the pink cream between the layers so the whipped dairy does not melt into a puddle.
