Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 2 cups spelt flour a sattvic flour choice
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or maple sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of fine sea salt
- A pinch of high-quality saffron threads finely crushed
- Zest of 2 organic oranges for strong citrus flavor
- 2 large organic free-range eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk or coconut milk
- 1/4 cup melted ghee
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Orange Blossom Water Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream or coconut cream for a vegan version
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2 teaspoons orange blossom water
- Additional orange zest for garnish
Garnish:
- Edible Orange Flower: Choose a vibrant edible orange flower such as marigold or nasturtium. These flowers not only complement the orange theme of the pancakes but also add a subtle, slightly peppery taste (in the case of nasturtium) or a citrusy, slightly bitter flavor (in the case of marigold).
- Sprinkle of Finely Chopped Fresh Mint: Mint pairs wonderfully with citrus flavors adding a fresh, aromatic note that will enhance the overall taste. Its bright green color also adds a visually appealing contrast to the orange flower.
Instructions
Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together spelt flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and crushed saffron.
- Stir in the orange zest for a citrusy punch.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, melted ghee, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry, mixing just until the batter is smooth.
Cook the Mini Pancakes:
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with ghee.
- Place the 5-inch round cookie cutter or ring mold on the skillet and pour batter inside to fill about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then remove the mold, flip the pancake, and cook until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, ensuring all pancakes are uniformly 5 inches in diameter.
