Delicious Spelt Pancakes

In the latest Faith No More album, Mike Patton sings “Sunny side up, sunny side up, such a lovely way to start the day”...and on Sunday morning I sing “ Flip the brown side of the pancake up, flip the brown side of the pancake up, such a lovely day to start the day”. :) I'm sure Mike Patton will never read this post, so I'll never get sued for changing his lyrics in such a terrible way. :D :D :D

Anyway, yes, this is normally the way I start my Sunday morning: cooking pancakes. :)

My recipe is surely very similar to many other pancake recipes and also very easy to make. Due to my husband's intolerance I use spelt flour and goat milk, but feel free to use all-purpose flour and cow milk (or any other kind of milk) in the same amount suggested in the recipe.

INGREDIENTS FOR ABOUT 10 (10 cm/4”) PANCAKES :

1 egg

1 cup (150 g) spelt flour (or all-purpose flour)

1 Tbsp (16 g) brown sugar

A pinch of salt

¾ goat milk (160 g) (or another kind of milk)

½ tsp (3 g) baking soda

DIRECTIONS:

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg with an electric mixer until fluffy. Stir in all the remaining ingredients and mix just until flour is moistened. Don't overmix the batter or you'll end up having chewy pancakes instead of soft ones. According to the type of flour you use and the size of the egg, you might need to adjust your batter either in flour (if too liquidy) or in milk (if too thick).

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Brush it with some butter or vegetable oil and pour some batter onto the pan.

After more or less 2 or 3 minutes some bubbles will start forming on top and this means it's time to flip your pancake over. Cook the other side until golden brown.

Enjoy your pancakes and have a lovely day! :)
