Frequently Asked Questions
How do you caramelize the strawberries?▼
Spread them on a lined baking sheet (toss with a tablespoon or two of sugar if you like it sweet) and roast at 450°F for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then, until they're soft and caramelized.
Why drain the roasted strawberries?▼
Letting the caramelized strawberries drain in a colander for 10 to 15 minutes removes excess juice, so they don't make the pancakes soggy when you layer the stack.
Can I use frozen strawberries?▼
Yes — just thaw them first. Frozen berries release more liquid, so the draining step matters even more to keep the layers from getting watery.
