Green pancakes


A local early spring tradition since the 16th century: green pancakes (Diestse kruidkoeken).
The 'green' are tansy and dandelion leaves, mixed through a standard pancake batter.
They have a rather strong, 'green' taste, i like them with 
some red currant jam, white or brown sugar.
The herbs freshly picked in my garden this morning....
 now off to my afternoon (tea) coffee :)

  1. they look yummie!! but tansy??? I think it has a bitter taste and smell ?? - I prefer basil, parsley and bear's garlic, but I can try it with tansy - it grows in my garden, too.
    have a nice weekend!
