No blender?
You can make your own pancake batter by mixing the eggs and milk for about 1 minute or until the mixture is light yellow. Then add the remaining ingredients: flour, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt into the mixture. Keep stirring until you see no lumps on the pancake batter. 
Chopping strawberries:
Finely chopped strawberry is highly recommended so you can cook the the strawberry compote faster and don't need a blender to puree.
How to Zest Lemon without Zester: 
You can use a vegetable peeler or sharp knife to slice very thin pieces from the lemon. Avoid peeling the bitter, white pith.
