Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 handful of spinach (about 1 cup chopped)
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. In a blender or food processor, blend the handful of spinach with the milk until smooth to incorporate the greens thoroughly into the batter.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the blended spinach milk mixture, egg, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
