Ingredients
- 8 oz Spinach
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- Ricotta cheese
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
- Nutmeg
- Salt
- 2 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Prepare the spinach
Rinse the spinach leaves and roughly chop them.
Make the batter
In a blender, combine the chopped spinach, all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, ricotta cheese, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Heat the skillet
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a small amount of butter on the skillet.
Cook the pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Keep warm and repeat
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C) while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve
Serve the Spinach Pancakes hot, topped with a dollop of ricotta cheese if desired.
