Spelt Pancakes

This is a dump and stir recipe that's super easy and fast! All you need is 15 minutes and some yummy syrup!

Ingredients

1 large egg
1 cup organic spelt flour (preferbly whole grain)
3/4 cup milk or milk alternative (soy, almond or rice milk)
1 Tab. (optional) unrefined sugar, or alternative (agave nectar, stevia, etc, adjust quanities to taste)
2 Tab. olive oil
3 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Method

  1. Mix all your ingredients together while your pan* or griddle is heating on medium. You can mix by hand or with an electric mixer, but only mix until the batter is smooth.

  2. To test if your pan has come up to heat, sprinkle some drops of water in the center of the pan, if it sizzles you're ready to go.

  3. Use a ladle to pour your batter in the center of the pan.

  4. Your pancake can be flipped when bubbles form over the surface of the cake. This should only take about 60 seconds.

  5. Once it's flipped take it out after another 40 seconds.

This makes about 6 cakes that are 10cm in diameter.

We like to top our finished pancakes with maple syrup (make sure its the original, not the sugar filled maple flavoured syrup), apple sauce, agave nectar or even your favorite nut butter and jam.
