Lavender syrups are not only versatile but also provide a burst of flavor to a wide range of dishes. When it comes to culinary delights, incorporating lavender syrup can work wonders in sweet treats like cakes, cookies, and ice creams. Moreover, it brings a special touch when drizzled onto pancakes or waffles, transforming your breakfast into a gourmet experience.

Enhancing beverages is another forte of lavender syrup, whether it's infusing a floral essence into hot or iced tea, or jazzing up lemonade for a rejuvenating summer quencher. When it comes to mixology, the marriage of lavender syrup with gin, vodka, or champagne can result in sophisticated and aromatic concoctions.

The possibilities are endless, so don't be afraid to explore the realm of lavender syrup to enhance the depth of flavors in your culinary creations.

At Lavender Bluff Farm, we create three flavors of lavender syrup: Munstead, Annette and Royal Velvet.

Enjoy lavender syrup infused baked goods at Little Larke Bakery. In August, Stockholm Pie will feature a lavender pie. Allaire house serves lavender flavored coffee.

Lavender Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
Cooking spray or additional butter for cooking

Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, dried lavender, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the lavender pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Enjoy your delightful lavender-infused pancakes!
