Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes about 24

Ingredients

2 cups spelt flour or whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, optional
2 cups water
2 cups thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts
3 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the first 3 (dry) ingredients plus the optional sesame seeds in a large mixing bowl and stir together.

    Step 2

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water. Whisk together until smooth, then stir in the scallions.

    Step 3

    Heat enough oil to lightly coat a nonstick griddle or wide skillet. Ladle a scant 1/4 cup batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel–lined plate and keep warm (or start eating!) while cooking the remaining pancakes.
