Auberge French Lavender Pancakes With Lavender Honey

Recipe #247657 | 20 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 , 12 Pancakes (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: French Tart

Our own Auberge de la Fontaine Lavender Pancakes - these are made with home-grown organic lavender flowers from our garden here in SW France, where we often serve them for breakfast! They also make a very elegant dessert when served with cream and fruit - I sometimes serve them with Rosy Rosé Berries: Strawberries and Raspberries in Wine. If you cannot get hold of culinary lavender, these pancakes are just fine if served with the lavender honey, butter and/or cream and fresh fruit.

    1. 1
      In a large bowl, mix together all dry ingredients together.

      Flip pancakes with a spatula, and cook for a few seconds more on the second side.
