WHOLEMEAL RYE PANCAKES WITH WHEAT GERM
INGREDIENTS:
PANCAKE BATTER:
- 250g Pernerka Fine Wholemeal Rye flour
- 500ml plain kefir
- 30g wheat germ
- 2 small eggs
- 7g bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp salt
- Clarified butter for frying
AVOCADO TOPPING:
- 1 avocado
- 1 Gervais cheese or cottage cheese
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- salt
TIPS AND TRICKS:
If you don’t like a savoury topping for your pancakes, you’re welcome to use a jam or any other sweet spread/topping that you like.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Tip the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda and the wheat germ into a big bowl and mix.
2) Add the kefir, eggs and using a balloon whisk bring all the ingredients together to a smooth batter. Leave the batter to rest for 10 minutes.
3) Heat a pancake pan, then add some clarified butter and wait for it to melt a little. When the butter starts foaming, spoon the pancake batter into the pan (circa 8cm in diameter for each pancake), then fry the pancakes on both sides (about 2 minutes on each side). Leave a sufficient space between the pancakes as they’ll expand a little bit whilst they’re frying.
4) Prepare the avocado topping. Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and spoon the flesh out of the skin into a bowl. Mash the avocado with the fork, add the soft cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley and salt. Mix well.
5) Spoon some of the avocado topping on the pancakes, top with your favourite vegetables and serve. Enjoy!
