Buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup, redbud blossoms and

(Edible flower tips)
Candied pansies are great. Supersaturate two tablespoons of Everclear alcohol with sugar, whip in a tablespoon of egg white and then paint the pansies. See Edible Flowers video. |
| Red bud pods are edible. Dip them in tempura and fry. Also, make a saturated sugar water mixture, about a quarter cup, then flavor it with crushed anise hyssop flowers (or leaves). Dip red bud pods in water and coat, then bake at 350 degrees until crisp. | ![]() |
