This is a vegan version of the Flowery Pancakes...

Pick Elderberry flowers and cut off as much of the stems as possible.

Mix soy milk and a little oil very well.
Add flour and a generous amount of baking powder, stir till moistened.


Now add the flowers and...






fold in carefully.













Fry gently in a skillet with a little oil, turn when nicely browned on the bottom.

See the flowers?

Enhance the flower taste with a little Elderberry Flower Jelly!

Have some! The elderberries are in full bloom here in Sweden - we can make lots!


If you do not want to eat/cook vegan, feel free to use milk and add an egg or two. That will make the batter a lot like regular pancake batter...

Yummy. I want to try those! My parents used to make elderberry wine when I was a kid.


Thanks so much for posting this to my All Photo Essays Here group!

Sam and Monica, I am honored! Thank you!

We had them for dessert yesterday, and they were perfect, with the Elderberry Flower Jelly...

Alright, when I come out there, put these on the menu. I am intrigued as to what these would taste like.
Cristina S. Jun 20, 2008, 7:25am UTC
Shannon, that means coming when elderberries bloom!

Maria, are the elderberries still blooming? Then your wish will come true!

These look and sound so good. I love trying new foods.
Jenna is around here somewhere s. Jun 22, 2008, 12:01am UTC
These look soooooooo good, I'm so curious as to how they would taste, I know elderberry plants grow along the train tracks by my grandmothers house, that is how my aunts used them when they were growing up,we went for a walk to look for them.

Thank you for taking the time to post to the group,

Can you use Almond Milk? I have trouble with Soy... these look awesome, I just don't know where to get the Elderberry flowers- however, I can get the Jam..
Thanks for posting this!
Elsie Duggan Jun 29, 2008, 11:57pm UTC
We used to have an elderberry tree on our front lawn when I was a kid, we always had them in everything and I remember the elederberry jelly , oh that is so good, and a friend on gather sent me some homemade last year, I haven't been able to find any in the supermarket. Maybe you have to grow your own.
Cristina S. Jun 30, 2008, 1:53am UTC
Wolf, water works perfectly with these...

Elsie, your jam was probably made from the berries - I used the flowers here... no berries yet!
And yes, you need to find/grow a tree...
Selene N. Jul 5, 2008, 3:20pm UTC
They look great!
Jennifer L. Jul 18, 2008, 3:21am UTC

Hi Cristina!
Hope you are thriving!
I wanted to share this neat poem
that I used to sing as part of a college madrigal group.
I hope you'll enjoy it.

Der weiße und liebliche Schwan
stirbt singend, und ich
erreiche weinend das Ende meines Lebens.
Seltsames und so verschiedenes Schicksal,
daß er ungetröstet stirbt,
und ich sterbe glücklich.
Ein Tod ohne Sterben
erfüllt mich mit Freude und Verlangen.
Wenn ich sterbend keinen anderen Schmerz fühlte,
wäre ich zufrieden, tausend Tode täglich zu sterben.
