Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:10 minutes
Total Time:15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • one egg
  • one cup buttermilk
  • ½ tablespoon of vanilla extract or juice of half of a lemon
  • ½ tablespoon dried food grade lavender buds or fresh from an organic garden
  • 6 tablespoons butter for melting on griddle

Instructions

  • Sift your flour into a large bowl, then add your baking powder, baking soda, salt and whisk together
  • In another large bowl, whisk the eggs, buttermilk until combined.
  • Add your sugar and lavender into a small bowl or mortar and pestle. Use vanilla extract or juice of ½ lemon to moisten sugar and break down the lavender. Grind together to make a lavender sugar. It does not need to be extremely fine, just well combined so you don't have large pieces of lavender in your pancakes.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk by hand gently to combine the ingredients. Add in your lavender sugar and fold. The batter is thick and a few lumps may remain.
  • Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat generously with butter. Once hot, drop about ¼ cup of batter on the griddle.
  • Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles begin to form on the sides, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 2 more minutes.
  • Coat griddle/skillet again with butter for each pancake or batch of pancakes.
  • Keep pancakes warm in a preheated 200°F (93°C) oven until all pancakes are cooked.
  • Serve pancakes immediately with honey, butter, or maple syrup.

Notes

Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: Pancakes taste best right after they are made. Pancakes freeze well, up to 2 months. Reheat as desired.
