Designed to be both simple and flexible, this recipe accommodates newcomers and seasoned chefs alike.

Before we dive into the recipe, it’s crucial to understand the basics of cooking with cannabis. The key to our pancakes is the cannabis-infused oil or butter, which you can prepare at home or purchase a prepped version like those from ingredient. The potency of your infusion depends on the strength of your cannabis and the amount used. We recommend starting with a low dose and going slow, especially if you’re new to edibles. Decarboxylation, heating cannabis to activate THC, is a crucial step before infusion.
