locust flower cookies

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Remove the leaves and stems from dried locust flowers, soak them in water and wash them clean. Fresh locust flowers can also be used; add salt to dehydrate them.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Sifting flour

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Crack in the eggs and stir in one direction.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Add milk and stir to form a thin batter. The batter can be quite thin; it will thicken after adding the locust flowers. Stir in one direction only.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Add sugar to the mixed batter and continue mixing until smooth.

   

6. 06

   Step 6

   Add the cleaned and squeezed-dry locust flowers.

   

7. 07

   Step 7

   After mixing well, the batter should be of a suitable thickness. If it's still too thick, you can add more milk to adjust it.

   

8. 08

   Step 8

   This isn't an advertisement; I've gotten used to using this bear-shaped egg pan. It has automatic temperature control so it doesn't overheat, and the pancakes are all the same size, so I don't have to worry about them not being perfectly round or looking bad. Other similar non-stick pans can also be used as substitutes.

   Step 9

   Pour in an appropriate amount of batter and spread it evenly, then wait to flip it over.

   

10. 10

    Step 10

    Add a little oil when flipping the dough; an oil brush is best. (Ignore the picture.) Too much oil, just a tiny bit.

    Step 11

    Pan-fry until cooked through on both sides and serve.
