Champagne Pancakes with Roasted Cinnamon Strawberries
Whether you are having champagne in the evening, or in the morning with breakfast, all you need to do is save a small amount (60mls) to add to the pancake mix just before cooking. The pancake mixture can be prepared the night before (without the champagne added til morning) making this a very easy and lovely breakfast treat to share. The roasted strawberries are also best prepared the night before serving.
