Buttermilk pancakes
Three of the sources we surveyed carry a pancake recipe and none of them mention the problem: a griddle runs far hotter than an infusion survives. The butter goes on top, not in the pan.

Ingredients
4 tbsp infused butter
Set your infusion strength above and this splits into infused and plain butter to hit whatever dose you want.
- 1½ cupsall-purpose flour
- 1¼ cupsbuttermilk
- 1large egg
- 3 tbspplain melted butter — for the batter
- 2 tbspgranulated sugar
- 1 tspbaking powder
- ½ tspbaking soda
- ½ tspfine salt
- maple syrup — to serve
Method
- 01
Divide the softened infused butter into 8 equal portions on a plate and refrigerate. Doing this first is what makes the dose even — a griddle cooks pancakes at wildly different rates and you cannot dose them by eye afterward.
- 02
Whisk the buttermilk, egg and plain melted butter together.
- 03
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt in a second bowl, then pour the wet into the dry and stir until just combined. Lumps are correct; a smooth batter makes tough pancakes.
- 04
Rest the batter for ten minutes while the griddle heats to medium.
10 min
- 05
Cook the pancakes in plain butter until bubbles break across the surface and the edges look set, then flip once.
12 min
- 06
Top each hot pancake with one portion of the infused butter and let it melt. Never put the infusion in the batter — a griddle runs around 375 °F, which is far above anything an infusion survives.
- 07
Serve with syrup, and spoon any melted butter left on the plate back over the top.
Built on
Standard buttermilk pancake: 1½ cups flour, 1¼ cups buttermilk, 1 egg, 3 tbsp fat, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp soda.
Every recipe here names the conventional ratio underneath it. The cannabis part is a fat substitution, not new chemistry — so if the base is sound and the substitution is sound, the recipe is sound.

Before you eat it
- These are estimates, not lab results. Treat the low end as the honest number and the high end as the thing to plan around.
- Start with one serving and wait two hours. Edibles take 30 to 120 minutes to come on, and the most common mistake is redosing before the first one lands.
- Test a small piece first. Potency is rarely even across a batch, especially if the infusion was not mixed thoroughly.
- Label anything you store with the date and the estimated dose, and keep it away from children, pets and anyone who did not ask for it.
- If you overdo it: you are not in danger, but it will be unpleasant. Find somewhere quiet, drink water, and wait it out. Do not drive.

Maple pecan granola
A low, slow granola that bakes gently enough not to punish the infusion. Makes a jar that lasts a fortnight and doses itself by the spoon.

Olive oil banana bread
An oil-based loaf rather than a creamed-butter one, which makes it forgiving, one-bowl, and easy to slice into even portions.
10 slices
Overnight oats
Assembled in a jar the night before, eaten cold. No heat anywhere in the process, which makes it the gentlest thing on the site for an infusion.
