Description
Spinach and Feta Pancakes are fluffy, savory delights made with fresh spinach and creamy feta. Mix, cook and serve warm with yogurt or cherry tomatoes.
Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and lump-free.

Tip: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to ensure even hydration and fluffier pancakes.
Add Spinach and Feta
Gently fold 1 cup of chopped spinach and 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese into the batter. Mix to distribute evenly.
Tip: For a stronger flavor, use freshly crumbled feta and lightly sauté the spinach before adding it to the batter.
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil. Allow the pan to heat thoroughly for 1-2 minutes.
Tip: A well-heated pan ensures evenly browned pancakes without sticking.
Cook the Pancakes
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Spread it slightly with the back of the spoon to form an even circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip the pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: Do not press down on the pancakes after flipping, as this can make them dense.
Serve
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and add optional toppings, such as a dollop of yogurt or sliced cherry tomatoes. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
Tip: Pair with a side of fresh salad or drizzle with a touch of olive oil for a Mediterranean taste.
