There's something so satisfying about a recipe that feels special without being complicated, and these pancakes with edible flowers are exactly that. The cardamom adds a subtle warmth that pairs beautifully with the floral notes, and Nellie's Free Range eggs give the batter that rich, golden quality you can actually taste. 

Serve these straight off the griddle with a drizzle of maple syrup and a few extra flower petals scattered on top. The buttermilk gives you that classic tang and lift, cardamom adds warmth without overpowering, and quality eggs make all the difference in flavor and texture.

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cardamom, and salt until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the Nellie's Free Range eggs and buttermilk together until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat your griddle or pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form across the surface and the edges look set.
6. Gently press 2–3 edible flowers onto the surface of each pancake. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden.
7. Serve warm with maple syrup and a few extra flower petals on top if desired.
