In a bowl, mix together the flours, bicarb and sugar. Place the wet mix into the flour mix and stir. Add a little water if it is too stiff. Spray a non-stick or iron pan with oil spray, place the heart shape egg mould on it and fill the shape with some of the mixture. Take the mould away before flipping. Cook for about 2-3 minutes each side, making sure they don’t burn. Continue until all the mixture is cooked. If you don’t have an egg mould make round pikelets and use your heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the heart shape after the pancakes are cooked. To serve, place half the pancakes on each plate, dollop on the ricotta, chopped almonds, strawberries and drizzle with honey.
