After trying einkorn pancakes, I understand why people are willing to pay a little extra for the flour. Not only is it an ancient grain, but it is also makes pancakes much fluffier.
These pancakes are fantastic. By far the best flour I’ve ever used for pancakes.
If you’re not vegan or don’t have applesauce, you can substitute with two eggs instead for this recipe.
When mixing the batter, it is best to leave some lumps in the batter. It helps with the texture of the pancake.
