Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Oil or butter, for greasing skillet

 

    • Chamomile Cream:
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 2 chamomile tea bags or 2 tablespoons dried chamomile flowers
    • 1–2 tablespoons honey or sugar (to taste)
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

  • Gingered Strawberries:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream until warm (not boiling). Remove from heat, add chamomile, and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain, cool completely, then whip with honey and vanilla until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
  2. In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, grated ginger, sugar or honey, and lemon juice. Let sit for 15–20 minutes to macerate.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (do not overmix).
  6. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  7. Stack pancakes on a plate. Top with chamomile cream and spoon over gingered strawberries. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of cream for a tangier topping.
  • Swap strawberries with seasonal fruits like peaches or blueberries.
  • Add lemon zest to the batter for brightness.
  • Use coconut cream for a dairy-free version of the chamomile cream.
  • Chill the bowl and whisk before whipping cream for best results.
