Oh, the Hipster and the Grill Master should be friends,
The Hipster and Grill Master should be friends -
One man likes his PBRs,
The other likes to smoke cigars,
That’s no reason why they cain’t be friends!

Hey buddies, we’re a day away from the 4th of July, which is Independence Day in The United States. Below is a recipe for grilled pancakes with an upscale twist – balsamic strawberries! Don’t forget the fireworks, everyone! Nothing says the 4th of July like Grillin’ in the backyard, and hardly anything says “Yay, America!” quite like some awesome pancakes.

This recipe comes from Culinary Cory, a website based in Chicago Pittsburgh that has tons of recipes for good food.

Ingredients:
Grilled Pancakes with Balsamic Strawberries
2 cups pancake batter, prepared
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
1 Tbl. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbl. sugar
vegetable oil

Preparation:
Preheat the grill with a cast iron griddle pan. Toss the strawberries, vinegar and sugar in a small mixing bowl and set aside. You may need to adjust the sugar based on the natural sweetness of the strawberries. Reduce the heat on the grill to a medium flame. Brush the cast iron griddle with vegetable oil. Pour ¼ cup sized portions of prepared pancake batter evenly on the griddle. Close the lid and allow the pancakes to cook for 30 – 60 seconds. Flip and cook for a final 30 seconds. Repeat until the batter is gone. Top the pancakes with the balsamic strawberries and maple syrup. Serves about 4 – 6 people.

Oh, and folks, one last thing! If you can, try to get your food locally grown!
