Instructions
- Mix the two flours with the sugar and the pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- Gradually pour in the lukewarm water, stirring, until you have a supple dough, neither sticky nor dry.
- Leave the batter to rest for 15 minutes at room temperature so the flour can hydrate.
- Gently rinse the flowers and pat them dry on a clean tea towel.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly oil it.
- Drop in a small spoonful of batter, flatten it into a disc, then place a flower or a few petals in the centre.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the underside is golden, turn and cook for 1 more minute.
- Drizzle with warm honey, sprinkle with sesame and serve immediately.
Variations and tips
Sweet sesame version. Mix a spoonful of sesame paste directly into the batter for a deeper flavour.
With what's available here. Replace the rose petals with thin slices of strawberry or apple, and the glutinous rice flour with regular rice flour mixed with cornflour.
