Pancakes With Fresh Strawberry Syrup

Preheat Chef Series II 12"/30 cm Griddle pan over medium heat. In base of Power Chef® System System, fitted with paddle whisk attachment, combine milk, eggs and oil. Cover and pull cord until blended. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and seasoning blend over liquids in Power Chef® System base. Cover and pull cord 6-8 times until mixed; do not over mix. Ladle 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle.

Cook until bubbles begin to set around the edges of the pancakes and the griddle-side is golden. Gently flip and continue cooking 1-2 minutes more. Remove from griddle and serve warm. Repeat with remaining batter.

While pancakes are cooking make strawberry syrup using the last 5 ingredients. Place strawberries into base of Power Chef® System fitted with blade attachment, cover and pull cord 8-10 times until pureed. Place puree in 1-Qt./1 L Micro Pitcher Set and add remaining syrup ingredients. Microwave at 50% power 9-10 minutes until boiling, monitoring during last few minutes to prevent syrup from boiling over.

Serve warm and refrigerate any remainder for up to 5 days; warm before serving.
