Make the Strawberry Glaze.

  • Cut the strawberries in half and place them in a cooking pot. Add the fresh lemon juice to the same pot.
  • Bring to a boil. The strawberries will generate water on their own.
  • Once boiling, bring down to low-medium heat and simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the glaze to thicken.
  • Once done, set the glaze aside to cool. Once the glaze cools down to room temperature, place it in the fridge. This will allow it to thicken even more.

Make the Beef Liver Pancakes.

  • Blend the raw liver, eggs, ghee (room temperature/softened), and a dash of sea salt (ASHLEYR for 15% off) in a blender until smooth. No liver chunks should be left.
  • Note: if you go through tons of salt in your household like we do, check out this salt purchasing hack that will save you money + make things more efficient. We started this last year, and I'm so happy we did!
  • Make as you would normal pancakes at medium heat, with the exception of cook time and resting from heat. **See note below.

Put it all together.

  • Top the pancakes with the strawberry glaze. The glaze is lightly sweet but mostly tart. If you prefer a sweeter pancake experience, top with some raw honey as well.
  • Devour and enjoy!

Notes

**Important notes:
Beef liver cooks VERY quickly, so these pancakes will cook fast (usually about 15-20 seconds per side). Sometimes slightly more or less. You'll know to flip it when the batter starts to bubble and the bottom of the pancake has solidified.
These pancakes like a lot of fat while cooking, so between every 1-2 pancakes, add some ghee to the pan.
Between each pancake, I let the pan rest from heat for about 10 seconds. I pour the next pancake onto the pan while it is removed from heat, then add it back to heat. This prevents the pancake batter from sizzling, cooking too fast, and burning.
I usually pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. One batch makes about 6 pancakes. The pictured stack is a double batch.
