Chef’s tips
- You can vary the pancake batter in different ways.
- Try different flours (whole wheat, buckwheat, spelled, or semi-coarse wheat).
- Instead of milk, you can use kefir or vegetable milks (coconut, rice, oat, soy, almond, hazelnut…)
- You can add herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley, or chives) or spices (paprika, pepper, or barbecue spices) to the dough for savory pancakes.
- You can easily color the pancakes – you can get dark ones by adding cocoa, other colors can be achieved by adding food coloring.
- Use oil for frying or brush the pan with melted butter
- Make several pancakes at once and freeze what you don’t eat, they taste great even thawed and next time you just have to choose the filling.
