Tranditionally, in Spring seasons, women go to picnic and enjoy flower pancakes with spring flowers.
We call it Hwajeon.(Hwa means flower, jeon means pancake)
Spring flowers, such as azalea, apricot flower(ume flower) and garden balsam are used for flower pancake. However, due to the air pollution, I have to use edible flowers.
Ingredients : glutinous rice(sticky rice), salt, edible flower, oil, honey(or sorts of syrup)
1. Wash the glutinous rice until water is clear.
2. Put the washed rice in the clean water for 4~5 hours.
3. Put the rice in the sieve for 1 hour to get rid of water.
4. Grind and make rice flour, then sift rice flour with fine sieve.
5. Add salt a little and knead rice flour with hot water.
6. Break off rice flour paste into chestnut size and flatten it out into circle.
7. Griddle it with small oil on the low heat pan.
8. After one side is done and turnover it.
9. Paste the flower on the done pancake and take off from pan.
10. Cool down it and add syrup, Enjoy!
If you use another wild flower not from market, you should detach stamen of flower. Pollen may cause alergy.
