Calories 623kcal

Ingredients

Pancake batter

  • 200 ml milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp oil or melted butter
  • 100 g whole wheat flour E.g. kamut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 organic lemon Zest
  • 1/2 tsp ground vanilla/vanilla extract or beans from 1/2 vanilla pod
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom
  • A pinch of salt

Flower pancakes

  • 18 large elderflower heads
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • Oil or butter to fry

Instructions

  • Shake the flower heads free of any insects or dirt. Clip or cut the heads into smaller bunches with no more than 2 stems, just like a pair of cherries (see pictures).
  • In a bowl mix together all the dry ingredients for the batter. Add milk while stirring to avoid any lumps. Then add the eggs and oil. You should have thick pancake batter that sticks to your finger or a spoon when dipping it. Add more flour if it seems to thin.
  • Heat a large pan on medium heat with 1-2 tbsp of butter/oil. Use the flower stem as a handle and dip one elderflowers in batter at a time, let it drip for 2 sec. Fry the the flowers, heads facing down for 1-2 min. Flip to fry the other side. Remove cakes when both sides are golden and crisp.
  • Drizzle with powdered sugar and serve straight away with a dollop of yoghurt, ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

These cakes are also called hyldekæreste (meaning elderflower-lovers) due to the to pair they make with the two stems. They are perfect to serve if you wanna win over a man or impress a girl- and maybe they even work as an  aphrodisiac
