- To prepare the whipped vanilla mascarpone, use a stand mixture with the whisk attachment to whip the mascarpone, cream, vanilla, and maple syrup together until the mixture holds firm peaks.
- To make the pancake, heat a large nonstick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Pour the butter and batter into the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on the surface.
- Add the strawberries and transfer to the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer.
- To serve, garnish the pancake with the mascarpone cream, the reserved strawberries, powdered sugar, and strawberry jam and flowers, if using.
