SpicenEasy's Savoury Pea Flour & Herb Pancakes
-
Prep Time: 5 minutes
-
Cook Time: 10 minutes
-
Serves: 2 (makes 4-6 small pancakes)
Ingredients:
-
1 cup SpicenEasy Pea Flour
-
1 cup water
-
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for cooking
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
-
1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
-
1 tsp SpicenEasy Garlic Powder
-
Optional Add-ins: ¼ cup corn kernels, 2 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, or ¼ cup grated zucchini
Instructions:
-
Make the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pea flour, water, olive oil, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth. The batter should be similar to traditional pancake batter – if it's too thick, add another tablespoon of water.
-
Add Herbs: Stir in the chopped parsley and chives (and any optional add-ins).
-
Cook: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
-
Flip and Cook: Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve: Serve warm with your favourite toppings – excellent with sour cream, avocado, or a poached egg.
Chef's Tip: *Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking – this allows the pea flour to fully hydrate and results in a better texture. For a complete meal, top with smoked salmon and a dollop of crème fraîche, or serve alongside a fresh green salad. These pancakes can be made ahead and reheated, making them perfect for meal prep!*
