Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by washing the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and patting them dry with paper towels. Roughly chop the spinach leaves and set aside.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add the milk and olive oil. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
-
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing. The batter should be smooth with no large lumps.
-
Stir the chopped spinach into the batter, making sure it is evenly distributed.
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon to form a round shape.
-
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You will see bubbles forming on the surface, indicating it's time to flip.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
-
Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve them warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
