Pancake Day. One day a year where you can have pancakes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert and and and&#8230; Yuuum! Here I&#8217;m sharing with you my Pancake Day 2019 contribution recipe for fluffy pancakes with homemade lavender syrup and earl grey creme fraiche.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here we go &lt;3<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ll need:<\/strong><br \/><em>Pancakes<\/em><br \/>350 ml milk<br \/>2 eggs<br \/>200 g plain flour (although I added a little wholemeal) <br \/>2 tsp baking powder<br \/>1 tsp sugar<br \/>Butter<\/p>\n<p><em>Lavender syrup<\/em><br \/>1 dl caster sugar<br \/>1-2 tbsp water<br \/>Lavender &#8211; edible<\/p>\n<p><em>Earl Grey Creme Fraiche<\/em><br \/>1 pot cr\u00e8me Fraiche <br \/>\u00bd tsp vanilla seeds (or extract but I prefer the real deal)<br \/>1\/2 cup cream cheese natural<br \/>1 cup icing sugar<br \/>1 tsp finely ground earl grey tea<br \/>1\/4 cup strong brewed earl grey tea<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to:<\/strong><br \/><em>Mise en place<\/em>: Prepare your station and make sure you have all the ingredients available.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s begin with the earl grey cream as this only gets better the more flavours it soaks up.<br \/>Mix creme fraiche, vanilla and cream cheese together in a bowl.<br \/>Stir in the icing sugar and the ground earl grey tea.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a slow and steady drip, work in the brewed tea a little at a time. <br \/>Depending on how cold the creme fraiche and cream cheese is, you might need a little less\/more earl grey tea. Stop when the mixture is thick and creamy.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set a side in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p><em>Next up: Make the pancakes<\/em>: <br \/>Whisk the milk and eggs in a jug, then set aside. Sieve the flour and the baking powder into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, the sugar and combine.<\/p>\n<p>Make a well in the centre and gradually pour in the milk and egg mixture. Beat well.<\/p>\n<p>In a small saucepan, melt 50 g of butter and mix HALF of the butter well into the batter.<\/p>\n<p>Brush a nonstick frying pan with a little of the melted butter and place over medium heat. When the pan is hot, pour half a ladle of batter into the pan to form a pancake that is approx 10cm in diameter.<br \/>Cook until bubbles start to form, then flip the pancake over and cook the other side until golden. Keep going until you&#8217;ve used all the batter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRO TIP:<\/strong> Keep the pancakes warm by heating up a heat-safe plate in the microwave. Roughly 2-5 minutes and keep the pancakes covered lightly under a tea towel to avoid steam.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lastly, make the syrup:<\/em><br \/>In a thick based saute pan, slowly melt the sugar. BE PATIENT and DON&#8217;T stir. When small(and I mean small) bubbles occur, stir in the water and lavender. Keep adding water until you have the desired thickness.<\/p>\n<p>Serve the pancakes warm with the syrup and lots of the earl grey cream on top. Add any additional fruits you prefer such as blueberries<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"665\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3587_Facetune_12-03-2019-16-49-18-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3587_Facetune_12-03-2019-16-49-18-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3587_Facetune_12-03-2019-16-49-18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3587_Facetune_12-03-2019-16-49-18-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<p><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/7d38ee42-08e2-4be3-9be5-0563ae1d747e.jpeg\" alt=\"pancakes, syrup, american pancakes, toppings\" \/>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/figure>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[29,56,60,61,64,80,130,137,147,148,171,172,191,222,246],"class_list":["post-766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cakes-and-bread","tag-blueberries","tag-cooking","tag-creamy","tag-cremefraiche","tag-cuisines","tag-earlgrey","tag-homemade","tag-indulge","tag-lavender","tag-lavendersyrup","tag-pancake","tag-pancakeday","tag-recipe","tag-syrup","tag-yum"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/ryeinthesky.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
