My wife was looking for something to take to her flower club meeting. A trip to the store where I work revealed strawberries on sale for 99 cents. After purchasing 5 lbs, t sliced them for her to put on angel food cake. In my haste, I didn't waste time coring them, just cutting off the top and slicing them. After I finished I looked at the pile of tops and decided to dice up as much as possible from around the core. This was the birth of a new recipe. Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of finely diced strawberries 1 cinnamon stick 1/2 teaspoon molasses 1 cup all purpose flour 1 1/4 cup buttermilk 1 egg 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 to 1 teaspoon banana extract 1 banana sliced thin Begin by adding the strawberries to a small sauce pan. Simmer over medium low heat until the berries start to break down. Add the cinnamn stick and molasses. Allow to simmer until ready to serve. Now start on the pancakes.m
