Hi Megan, I do read the blog, but wasn’t reading it back then. I went back and searched the site and read the article. Nice!

Here’s the link for anyone else who’s interested: http://www.deliciousdays.com/archives/2006/06/14/elderflower-bubbly-fried/

Christina, that is totally cool that you went the extra mile to try this one out. I’ve had it on my wishful to-do list since forever. I wonder if you ever look at the Munich food blog deliciousdays ? She also did a great post on this dish too. Yours makes the second online reminder for me that I keep putting off the fun stuff and am really missing out… Megan

@jentry: I’d never even heard of them, but they were SO good! I’m now a Holunder-convert, that Holunder syrup was really good too.

@christina: I’d love to try Holundersekt. I agree one tree is enough. There’s a really old one down by our Kindergarten that’s huge. Definitely try this next year though, they were great.

You know what? Sometimes I’m thinking about something and then voila, it appears on your blog in the next day or so. How do you DO that? We have a HUGE elder tree in our garden and I was eyeing the flowers last week, wondering if I should try this since I’d been hearing about it for years. But alas, I just checked a minute ago and the flowers are gone now. Oh well, maybe next year.

I’ve made pie and jelly and juice from the elderberries before and a friend of ours made us some Holundersekt, but we’ve never done the pancakes.

P.S. I’d say one bush is plenty since those things grow like crazy. We cut our tree back every year and I swear it’s about 30 feet tall.

These are one of my favorite things that my mother-in-law makes! I didn’t make them this week, but now I’ve got the recipe. . She makes loads of things from hollunder…she really likes this hollunder gelee, but it’s a bit too funky for my tastes. You can also use the berries for making a liqueur, but that will have to wait until next year for me.
