Hi all ๐๐ป
As it is finally spring/ summer hereโฆ (It seems we skipped spring to be honest) ๐ I have been able to harvest out of my garden alreadyโฆ No, not the veggies I have only planted and sowed during the last 2 weeks, they are not even close to harvesting yet.
I have been picking some flowers that grow all over the place in my garden ๐ผ (and yours probably too) for some it is even a weedโฆ but not for me ๐
Let me introduce to you โTHE #beautiful and #delicious #DANDELIONโ
If you donโt know it yetโฆ we can eat the entire dandelion plant. The flowers, leaves and even the root.
In different ways of course /recipes. Like salads, teas orโฆ. Like this; Today I want to share with you how I made dandelion pancakes ๐ฅ from the dandelion flowers ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ
Todayโs selection will be of 19 PHOTOGRAPHS
Date: 28 MAY 2024.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone ๐ฑ๐ค
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are right there with me cooking something delicious ๐
Letโs start at the beginningโฆ
I went outside into my garden to pick some flower heads of the dandelion plant. You can cut them with scissors or just pluck them off.
After a while I collected enough for a small stack of pancakes ๐ฅ
I looked closely at them to make sure the small tiny insects ๐ could leave / crawl out and remain in the garden.
Next I plucked out the yellow petals as we do not want the green more bitter parts for this recipe. ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ The yellow petals are nice and sweet. ๐
Once inside I wash them in a sieve.
And place the sieve in some water in a bowl. More little little creatures can escape this way. I didn't see more after a while so all fine.
Let us prepare the pancake batter now.
I use 4 eggs ๐ฅ and plain flower
A little bit of some sea salt ๐ง
Top it off with milk ๐ฅ (I never measure and do this on a feeling)
I mix it all wellโฆ ๐ฅฃ and add more milk bit by bitโฆ
Until I think the pancake batter is just right.
Now I add the dandelion flowers ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ
Fold them in with a spatula
If all is done I add some olive oil to the pan once it is heated well over medium to high heat.
Adding the pancake batter ๐ so exciting
Turning the little pancakes when one side is done ๐
I did fit 3 small pancakes in each goโฆ and continued until the pancake batter was all gone.
Here the end result of my #dandelion pancakes ๐ฅ
Let me tell you, they were delicious ๐คค and I will make more soon as the garden is full of dandelions ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ
Have you ever had dandelion?
โฆand here I say thatโs all for todayโs post my friends.
