Pour batter onto a lightly greased griddle or pan heated to medium. Cook on one side for two minutes or until small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes and the edges are slightly dry. Flip pancakes and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.

For topping:
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Use 1/2 packet of Splenda if you would like the "cream" to be sweeter.

Top each serving of pancakes with 1 cup sliced strawberries and half of the ricotta "cream".
