Ingredients

Pancake Batter Ingredients

76 grams (2.7 ounces) spinach (or 3 cubes frozen)
2 large eggs
30 grams (1 ounce) vegetable oil
50 grams (1.8 ounces) milk
60 grams (2.1 ounces) flour
1 teaspoon sugar
a pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

Start by gathering all your ingredients. In a blender, combine the spinach, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, flour, sugar, and salt. Make sure the spinach is well incorporated for a smooth texture.

Blend the mixture until it reaches a uniform consistency. Use short bursts to ensure everything is evenly mixed and avoid over-blending.

Your pancake batter is now ready to cook!

Step 2

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil if necessary. Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the hot pan, ensuring the pancake is of your desired size.

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until it becomes golden brown.

Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed.

Step 3

Serve and Enjoy

Serve your vibrant green pancakes warm, accompanied by your choice of sour cream, savory fish, or fresh berries. They are not only visually appealing but also deliciously versatile!
