🌼🥞 FIRST produce out of my garden : DANDELION PANCAKES ANYONE ??? 😉🌼

9 months ago

Hi all 👋🏻

As it is finally spring/ summer here… (It seems we skipped spring to be honest) 😁 I have been able to harvest out of my garden already… 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 🌼 (and yours probably too) for some it is even a weed… but not for me 😉
Let me introduce to you “THE #beautiful and #delicious #DANDELION”
If you don’t know it yet… we can eat the entire dandelion plant. The flowers, leaves and even the root.
In different ways of course /recipes. Like salads, teas or…. Like this; Today I want to share with you how I made dandelion pancakes 🥞 from the dandelion flowers 🌼🌼🌼

Today’s selection will be of 19 PHOTOGRAPHS
Date: 28 MAY 2024.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone 📱🤓
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are right there with me cooking something delicious 😋

Let’s start at the beginning…

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 🥞

I looked closely at them to make sure the small tiny insects 🐜 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. 🌼🌼🌼 The yellow petals are nice and sweet. 😊

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 🥚 and plain flower

A little bit of some sea salt 🧂

Top it off with milk 🥛 (I never measure and do this on a feeling)

I mix it all well… 🥣 and add more milk bit by bit…

Until I think the pancake batter is just right.

Now I add the dandelion flowers 🌼🌼🌼

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 😊 so exciting

Turning the little pancakes when one side is done 😁

I did fit 3 small pancakes in each go… and continued until the pancake batter was all gone.

Here the end result of my #dandelion pancakes 🥞

Let me tell you, they were delicious 🤤 and I will make more soon as the garden is full of dandelions 🌼🌼🌼🌼
Have you ever had dandelion?
