If you are just starting out with einkorn flour, try these pancakes. This is an easy way to introduce yourself to the nice flavor of einkorn wheat. The pancakes are flavorful, golden in color, and have more protein than regular pancakes. You may also use rice milk, buttermilk or your yogurt of choice in place of milk. Another option is to sour your milk for a more complex flavor by adding 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Suggested Serving Size: 4
Instructions
- Pre-heat griddle (or a large skillet) to medium temperature.
- Sift all dry ingredients into a large glass bowl.
- Using the whip attachment on a standing mixer, whip the eggs and milk until frothy.
- Melt butter and set aside.
- Pour egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix together until the consistency of a thick milkshake.
- Make sure not to over-mix or your pancakes will be tough.
- Pour melted butter into the batter and cut in using a spatula.
- Lightly oil the griddle. The griddle is at the right temperature when it begins to glisten.
- Using a ¼ cup measure per pancake, cook pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges are dry and bubbles start to form. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until cooked through.
Tips for Great Pancakes
- Don’t over-mix. It’s better to have a few small lumps in the batter.
- Check that your baking powder is in-date. If this key ingredient isn’t fresh you’re going to have flat pancakes.
- Use a large skillet or griddle. A wide flat surface will ensure even cooking and will make sure your pancakes aren’t crashing into each other.
- If cooking with butter, wipe out the pan between batches. This way you can avoid any off-tasting or burned bits.
- Don’t get distracted. A quick check of your phone can leave you with half-burned pancakes. Pay attention and keep checking to see if it’s time to flip.
- If your first pancake is a bit too thin, try adding a spoonful of flour to the batter to thicken up the rest.
