Sommaire
ToggleNecessary Ingredients
To make your CBD pancake recipe, here is the list of ingredients you will need:
- 250g flour
- 50cl of milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 4 tablespoons of oil or melted butter
- 1 bottle of CBD oil, with the concentration of your choice
Take care to choose quality CBD oil from a recognized company to guarantee the authenticity of the product and avoid any risk to your health.
Making the pancake batter
Follow the steps below to make your CBD pancake batter:
- In a salad bowl, mix the flour and salt.
- Then add the eggs and mix until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
- Gradually add the milk while continuing to stir.
- When the dough is smooth, add the oil or melted butter as well as a few drops of CBD oil (depending on your tastes and the desired effects).
Once all the ingredients are incorporated, let the dough rest for about 30 minutes. This will allow the CBD flavors to be effectively incorporated into the preparation and the pancakes to be softer.
Cooking pancakes
To cook your CBD pancakes, follow these steps:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Check that the pan is hot enough by pouring in a small amount of batter – if it starts to cook without sticking, the temperature is right.
- Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, turning it to spread the batter evenly and obtain a thin pancake.
- Cook each side of the pancake for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the pancake is golden brown.
- Repeat the previous steps with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan between each pancake if necessary.
Note that it is possible to adjust the amount of CBD used in the recipe depending on the desired effects. For a light effect, reduce the concentration of oil added to the dough; for a more pronounced effect, do not hesitate to add a few additional drops to the preparation or even directly to the pancakes once cooked.
CBD pancake topping
To complete this delicious recipe, all you have to do is choose your favorite topping! Some ideas:
- Honey or maple syrup for a sweet touch
- Fruit jam for a tangy flavor
- Melted chocolate for those with a sweet tooth
- Banana slices and/or crushed nuts to add consistency
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a little whipped cream for even more indulgence
The benefits of CBD in pancakes
Add CBD to your Candlemas pancakes offers several benefits, such as:
- Relaxing and soothing properties, which can help relieve stress, anxiety or certain pain.
- A natural anti-inflammatory effect, beneficial for people suffering from joint or muscle problems.
- Potential improvement in sleep and a general feeling of well-being.
It is important to note that CBD does not have the same psychoactive effects as THC (which causes the “high”), but rather therapeutic virtues to be discovered by concocting these delicious CBD pancakes for Candlemas!
