Today’s Specialty: Savory Pesto Pancakes

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for savory pesto pancakes. This dish is perfect for a cozy weekend brunch or a quick weekday lunch. The combination of fluffy pancakes with the zesty flavors of pesto creates a delicious and unique dish that will surely impress your taste buds.

Ingredients:

  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 10g baking powder
  • 5g salt
  • 250ml milk
  • 1 egg
  • 50g pesto
  • 30g butter, melted

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • griddle
  • spatula

To start, in a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, pesto, and melted butter. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.

Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour a ladleful of the pancake batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another minute or until golden brown.

Continue cooking the remaining batter, greasing the griddle as needed. Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve hot with a dollop of additional pesto on top for an extra burst of flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings at 150g each. Each serving is around 300 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a handful of grated Parmesan cheese to the batter for an extra savory kick. The cheese will melt into the pancakes as they cook, adding a delicious richness to each bite.

I hope you give these savory pesto pancakes a try soon and enjoy them as much as I do! Feel free to get creative with your toppings and make this dish your own. Happy cooking!
