Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Prepare Batter: In another bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
3. Add Spinach and Cheese: Fold in the spinach, feta, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, parsley, and dill.
4. Cook Pancakes: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown.
5. Serve: Enjoy your pancakes warm, topped with Greek yogurt or extra feta cheese.
Tips and Variations
1. Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach adds a brighter flavor and texture to the pancakes.
2. Don’t overmix: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
3. Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the batter.
4. Experiment with different cheeses: Try using goat cheese, ricotta cheese, or Parmesan cheese instead of feta.
5. Serve with a dollop of tzatziki: A dollop of tzatziki sauce adds a cool and creamy contrast to the savory pancakes.
