Servings: 4
Equipment
-
Skillet, two bowls, measuring utensils, whisk, and spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup fine semolina
- 1/4 cup sweetener (Date sugar or coconut sugar are less refined and therefore healthier options than cane sugar.)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground anise
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 cup milk or nut milk
- 4 Tbsp butter or vegan butter (melted, unsalted) or oil (Have extra oil on hand to grease the skillet. You won’t need much -or any at all- if you are using Saladmaster.)
- 1 egg or egg substitute
- 1/4 cup pine nuts or almonds, toasted for more flavor
- syrup or honey for topping
Instructions
-
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another.
-
Combine and whisk.
-
Add 3 tablespoons of the batter to preheated and oiled skillet to cook the pancakes.
-
When bubbles appear on the surface, sprinkle a few nuts on the pancake (tap them down gently so they adhere) and flip to the other side.
-
Cook a minute longer until golden or light brown.
-
Keep the pancakes warm, and when all are done serve with honey or syrup or just some powdered sugar.
