Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose einkorn flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking and Serving
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the einkorn flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure they are evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly for better pancake consistency.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for cooking the pancakes.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to set.
- Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Repeat: Continue cooking with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet if necessary.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or butter as desired.
Notes
- Einkorn flour absorbs liquid differently than regular flour, so avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough pancakes.
- If the batter becomes too thick after resting, add a splash of milk to reach the desired consistency.
- These pancakes have a slightly nutty flavor and a soft texture unique to einkorn flour.
