Dutch Pannenkoeken (flat pancakes)

Dutch Pannenkoeken

This recipe gets me so excited, I love sharing my culture with others and show that us Dutchies aren't made out of just stroopwafels and salty herring (uhum.. yuck.) Growing up it was such a delight when my parents took my sisters and I out to a pancake restaurant. They would serve these giant pancakes with the size of a large pizza, you were allowed to top it with whatever you like. Some people would even choose as wild as ground beef and veggies! Not that I'm not that adventurous, but my favorite was soft apple cinnamon on one side and cheese on the other (also considering I was about 10 years old when we went last ;))

Serving: 2

Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup rye flour

• 1/3 cup whole wheat flour

• 2 large eggs + 1 egg white

• 1 cup Fair life 2% milk (or any other non dairy alternative )

• 2 tbsp almond flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp maple syrup

• 1/2 tbsp butter (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Start by sifting the almond flour, whole wheat, and rye flour into a bowl. Add salt and baking powder then stir to combine.

2. In a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients. Start by beating the eggs and egg white for 2 minutes, then add 1 cup of milk, vanilla extract and the maple syrup.

3. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while whisking until you get a smooth batter. The batter should be thin but not too runny. Adjust with a little more milk if needed.

4. Heat a pan over low to medium heat and lightly grease with butter. I like to use a large soup ladle to pour the batter into the pan, 1 ladle serving is typically the perfect amount to cover a 10'' frying pan. Swirling the pan to spread it evenly.

5. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook the other side for another minute.

6. Serve: My favorite way to eat a pancake is half savory half sweet. One side of the pancake with some good aged cheddar and the other side, apple slices and cinnamon. Check the list below for more amazing options.

• Feta tomato salsa, mix chopped onion and cherry tomatoes with parsley. Stir in some crumbled feta.

• Caramelized banana with nut butter, add slices ripe banana to a non-stick pan at low to medium heat. Let it caramelize 3 min on each side. (thank me later)
