Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup fresh strawberry , or frozen, stemmed and quartered
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
vegetable oil, for frying
4 slices white bread
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup strawberry jelly, preserves
1 cup pancake mix, batter prepared according to package instructions
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook until the berries have started to break down into a thick sauce, 10-15 minutes.
  • Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). To test the oil temperature, add a couple drops of pancake batter; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
  • Spread the peanut butter over 2 slices of bread. Spread the jelly over the remaining 2 slices of bread. Sandwich the peanut butter and jelly halves together.
  • Coat each sandwich in the pancake batter. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
  • Cut the sandwiches in half on the diagonal. Place on a plate, pour the strawberry syrup on top, and dust with powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!
