Elderflower pancakes

One of the surprises of today's trip to Gerecse were the elderflowers that we found on our way back. We managed to pick a couple of pieces and I used them for one of my favourites, elderflower pancakes.

 Ingredients for 4

• 5-6 bigger eldelflowers
• 30 dkg of flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 packets of vanilin sugar
• milk or water
• a bit of oil
• zest of half a lemon

First of all, wash the elderflowers very carefully. Pick the flowers off the stalks and put it aside until you make the dough. Measure the flour. Mix the two eggs, some of the milk, the vanilin sugar and the oil in a bowl. Add the flour little by little, add some more milk if it becomes too thick. Repeat this until there isn't any flour left,
and add as much water or milk as the dough needs to be perfect. In the end, mix the flowers with the dough. Let it rest for a bit, you might need to add some water. Make the pancakes and eat them with some honey or maple syrup right away! :)

Apple pancakes with maple syrup

The amount of the ingredients depends on how many pancakes we want to make. Actually this is the usual pancake dough (the hungarian version), but I whipped the egg whites separately and added them in the end, which made the dough so light and spumy. 4 smaller apples, 40 dkg of flour, 3 eggs, this amount is enough for at least 4 people.

Ingredients:

• flour
• eggs
• 1 packet of vanilin sugar
• sparkling water or milk
• apples
• ground cinnamon
• skin of 1 lemon

Grate the apples and squeeze most of its juice out of it (and of course we filter the juice and drink it afterwards..:) ). Separate the 3 eggs. We will whip the whites in the end. Add a bit of milk or water to the yolks, the vanilin sugar and the apples. Also add a bit of cinnamon and mix the whole thing. Add the flour in smaller amounts, and if it gets too stiff then add water. In the end beat the egg whites and mix it with the dough. It fries quickly in the pan and its very delicious. To eat maple syrup with it is almost an obligation, thats what makes it so autumny :)
