With only one test of these hearty pancakes, they've turned into a favorite lunch, snack and dinner in our house. Try them heated with a little grated cheese on top, or serve with yogurt. These look prettiest when you use black sesame seeds.

Time 30m

Yield 16 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups (200 grams) whole-wheat flour or whole-wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons (30 grams) toasted sesame seeds or black sesame seeds
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) cooked brown rice
1 bunch scallions, sliced
6 ounces spinach leaves (baby spinach or stemmed bunch spinach)
2 ounces (1/2 cup) crumbled feta

Steps:

  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and turmeric. Stir in the sesame seeds
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the buttermilk, milk and canola oil. Quickly whisk in the flour mixture and fold in the brown rice and scallions
  • Steam the spinach over 1 inch of boiling water for 2 minutes, or just until wilted. Rinse with cold water, squeeze out excess water and chop. Stir into the pancake batter, along with the feta
  • Heat a griddle or a large skillet, either nonstick or seasoned cast iron, over medium-high heat. Brush with butter or oil. Use a 1/4-cup ladle or cup measure to drop 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto your heated pan or griddle. Cook until they are brown on the edges and bubbles break through, 3 to 4 minutes, then carefully slide a spatula underneath and flip them over. Cook on the other side until pancakes are nicely browned. Serve hot

I love the combination of flavors in these pancakes. The brown rice gives them a nutty flavor, the sesame seeds add a touch of sweetness, and the spinach and scallions give them a pop of freshness.

These pancakes were a hit with my family! They're crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The sesame seeds and scallions add a nice flavor and texture.
