Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine *milk*, *water*, *eggs*, *sugar*, *vanilla sugar*, *vegetable oil*, and *flour*.

Using a mixer, blend all the ingredients until a smooth batter forms.

Step 2

Cook the Crepes

Heat a skillet over *medium* heat until hot. Lightly grease it with vegetable oil using a brush.

Pour a small amount of batter into the skillet, tilting to spread it evenly and form a thin crepe.

Cook the crepe for approximately *1.5 minutes* on one side, then flip it and cook for another *0.5 minutes* on the other side until golden brown.

Step 3

Add Edible Flowers

To decorate, place dehydrated flowers on the crepe while it's cooking. Either cook longer on one side so the flowers set or flip and add the flowers to the cooked side so they adhere to the oil.

You can find dehydrated flowers for decoration at specialty stores like @tortomaster.

Variations

Looking to make this dish gluten-free or vegan? We've got you covered! 🌱 Gluten-free Variation: 🌾 Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. All other ingredients can remain the same. Just ensure that the gluten-free flour you choose is suitable for pancakes, as some blends are better than others for maintaining texture. Vegan Variation: 🍃 - Substitute milk with a plant-based milk, such as almond or soy milk. - Replace the eggs with flax eggs (for each egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes). These modifications ensure that everyone can enjoy these beautiful, tasty pancakes without any dietary concerns!

Faq

  • Why aren't my pancakes flipping easily?

    This could be due to insufficient oil in the pan or flipping the pancake too soon. Make sure the edges are slightly crispy before attempting to flip.

  • Can I use fresh flowers instead of dehydrated ones?

    Fresh flowers might release moisture and affect the pancake's texture. Dehydrated flowers are recommended for a consistent result.

  • How can I make my pancakes thinner?

    If your pancakes are too thick, try adding a little more water to the batter and spreading it out more thinly in the pan.

  • Why are my pancakes browning too fast?

    Your skillet might be too hot. Try lowering the heat to ensure even cooking without excessive browning.

  • How can I store leftover batter?

    You can store leftover batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Stir well before using.

  • Can I prepare the batter the night before?

    Yes, you can! Just be sure to give it a good mix before making your pancakes the next day.
