Pancakes for me is something you don’t make very often, something you only make for the more special occasions. So when I do make them I always try to make them extra special. Now since we’re into holiday times and Christmas is just around the corner I thought what better flavor to make than saffron? These pancakes are soft and tender, with a gentle and delicate saffron flavor. I really don’t like when the saffron takes over, or has a too distinct taste, it should just be subtile and delicate. I also added some fiber syrup to sweeten them a little bit, and I think that saffron and syrup/honey pairs so well. The recipes doesn’t include too much sweetener since I prefer my pancakes less sweet, but the amount of sugar can be adjusted according to taste. These pancakes are perfect to serve for a weekend or holiday breakfast, brunch or even make a delicious dessert out of them. Here I chose to serve my pancakes with greek yogurt, raisins, home made blueberry balsamic sauce and slivered almonds.
