Colm O'Gorman's fluffy ricotta pancakes with sumac and pomegranate strawberries

I shared a recipe for a fabulous pavlova topped with sumac and pomegranate strawberries in this column a few weeks ago.
The hero ingredient for that pavlova are the strawberries, which are macerated in sumac, pomegranate molasses and caster sugar. When I first tasted them, I knew they would be a fabulous topping for pancakes and a new brunch recipe idea was born.
