How to Make Balsamic Strawberries With Black Pepper Wafers

  1. In a bowl, gently combine 500g strawberries (hulled and halved), 2 tablespoons caster sugar, and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
  2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the strawberries to macerate and absorb the flavors.
  3. **Prepare the Wafers:** Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced).
  4. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 100g plain flour, 1 tablespoon caster sugar, 1 egg white, 50g melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Drop 1 level teaspoon of batter onto the prepared baking trays, leaving 2cm between each wafer.
  7. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten each dollop of batter into an 8cm circle.
  8. Generously sprinkle each wafer with freshly cracked black pepper.
  9. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the wafers are lightly golden brown around the edges.
  10. Let the wafers cool on the baking trays for 15 minutes before serving.
  11. Serve the macerated balsamic strawberries topped with the black pepper wafers. Enjoy!
