Baked Elderflowers with Maple Syrup

Hello everybody,

sorry for the long break, but we had a crazy week at work with this year's season finale (and season finale party ;)...
Today I want to share one of my favourite (sweet) summer recipes with you: baked elderflowers with maple syrup. At this time of the year you can find elderflowers almost everywhere in Austria. I got mine from Steinhofgründe as Katja was so nice pick a bag full for me at one of her evening runs.

What you'll need (for 4 persons)

• (about 10-12) elderflowers (try to mix bigger and smaller ones)
• 300ml soy milk (or normal milk)
• 150g spelt flour
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup for the dough
• vegetable oil (I used canola oil but any kind of vegetable oil will do)
• maple syrup

How it works

Put the elderflowers heads down into a bowl of water for a few minutes and carefully wash the stems. For the dough mix the soy milk, the spelt flour, the baking powder and the maply syrup with an eggbeater. Stir well!

Heat up the oil in a pan. Pull the elderflowers through the dough and put them into the hot pan. 
When the dough starts to get solid you can cut of the long green stems of the elderflowers. Flip the elderflowers and bake until both sides are golden brown.

Put the elderflowers on a plate and sweeten then with maply syrup. Done! :)

Have a great day!

Yours,
Tulip
