Lavender and Honey Crêpes

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts Side Dishes
A dessert evoking the atmosphere of Balaton summers, where the floral, perfumed notes of lavender meet the deep sweetness of honey. The key is balance: lavender can easily become overpowering, so it must be dosed like an expensive spice – just hinting at its presence in the background.

Instructions

1 ✓

Place the dried lavender in a mortar with the sugar and grind to a powder. This helps release the essential oils and prevents you from biting into a strong piece of flower.

Tip: The sugar acts as an abrasive, giving you a much finer powder. (Mechanical grinding).
2 ✓

Mix the flour with the lavender sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the eggs, half the oil, and a little milk. Mix into a thick paste.

Tip: Salt is essential to harmonise flavours and dampens any 'soapy' aftertaste from the lavender.
3 ✓

Gradually add the remaining milk until you have a thin batter, the consistency of single cream. Leave to rest on the counter for 20 minutes.

Tip: During resting, the lavender flavour permeates the liquid better. (Dissolution).
4 ✓

Fry thin crêpes in the usual way: in a hot, oiled pan, for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear.

Tip: Do not brown too darkly, as the burnt taste overpowers the floral aromas.
5 ✓

While still hot, drizzle the pancakes generously with honey, roll up, and serve immediately.

Tip: The scent of the honey warming from the hot pancake mixes with the lavender, giving the full experience.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the batter turn bitter?
You likely used too much lavender, or bought lavender not suitable for culinary use.
How do I make the flavour more intense?
