Step by step instructions for making these pancakes

Mill the Einkorn berries

Mill 2/3 cup of Einkorn berries in your grain mill on the fine setting.

Mix the batter

Preheat a cast iron skillet over low to medium heat.

You can also use a hot griddle or a stainless steel pan for cooking the pancakes.

In a large mixing bowl, add the wet ingredients of milk, egg, and oil or butter. Mix until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients of flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.

Pour in the flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. DO NOT OVER MIX as this will lead to tough pancakes.

Add your favorite berries or chocolate chips and fold in until evenly combined.

Cook the pancakes

Spray the pan with some olive oil or put a small pat of butter in the skillet.

Scoop 1/3 cup of the pancake batter into the pan.

To make smaller pancakes use 1/4 cup of batter.

Let cook for 3-4 minutes or until bubbles appear on top of the pancake.

Flip and let cook an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

Continue until all the batter is used.

Drizzle pure maple syrup on top and enjoy!

This recipe makes 4-5 pancakes and can be doubled or tripled for larger families.

Storage

Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Make a triple batch for extra pancakes and freeze them in freezer safe bags for up to 3 months.
