Equipment
Ingredients
Lavender Pancakes
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon dried lavender buds (culinary/food grade)
- 1 large egg
- 1¼ cups milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Lavender Honey
- 1 cup honey
- 2 teaspoon dried lavender buds
Instructions
Lavender Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Add the lavender buds and whisk to combine everything.
- Add the egg, milk, melted butter, and lemon zest to the dry ingredients and whisk again to mix everything together until you have a smooth batter.
- Heat the griddle over med-high heat. Use non-stick spray or butter to grease the griddle. Once the griddle is hot, pour the batter in the middle to make a 6-8" pancake. Once you see bubbles popping on the surface and all over the pancake, flip it and cook on the other side. Place each cooked pancake in a warm oven while making the rest.
Lavender Honey
- Place the honey in a small saucepan over low heat only to 100°. Remove from the heat and stir in the lavender buds. Allow the honey to cool and steep for at least 20 minutes, more if you can. Strain if desired or serve as is.
Notes
- Balance the Lavender Flavor: Lavender is a strong flavor, so don't overdo it. If desired, start with a small amount and adjust to taste. A little goes a long way.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: Sifting the dry ingredients ensures they are well combined and prevents lumps in the batter.
- Don't Overmix: Only mix the batter until combined as overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. A few lumps in the batter are fine.
- Preheat Your Griddle or Pan: Make sure your pan is pre-heated before pouring the pancake batter. This helps with even cooking and prevents sticking.
- Use the Right Pan: A non-stick skillet or griddle is ideal for this recipe and the pancakes will be easier to flip.
- Flipping Technique: Use a large spatula to flip the pancakes. Do not press them down, as this can make them denser (no matter how much you want to!).
- Keep Warm in the Oven: If you're making a large batch, store the cooked pancakes in a warm oven (around 200°F or 93°C).
