Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner, these pancakes are packed with nutritious spinach and flavorful feta cheese.

Ingredients:

1.50 cups milk (1% fat)
360g
1 egg
50g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/4 cup sugar
50g
1 tbsp butter
16g
2 cups spinach
60g
2 tbsp chives
30g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, sift the self-raising flour and baking soda. Then add the sugar and stir to combine.
3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps until you have a smooth batter.
2. Add the Flavorings:
1. Stir in the melted butter until well incorporated.
2. Fold in the chopped spinach, chives, crumbled feta cheese, and minced garlic. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
3. Cook the Pancakes:
1. Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
2. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Spread slightly with the back of a spoon if necessary.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancake carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove the pancake from the pan and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray as needed between batches.
4. Serve:
- Serve the spinach and feta pancakes warm. They pair well with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of olive oil, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

- Make sure the spinach is finely chopped to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.

- If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to achieve the desired consistency.

- For added flavor, consider sautéing the garlic before adding it to the batter.

- Allow the cooked pancakes to rest on a wire rack to prevent them from becoming soggy.

- These pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in a toaster or oven for a quick meal.

Your delicious spinach and feta pancakes are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm, topped with some extra feta or a dollop of yogurt for an extra touch. These pancakes make for a delightful and nutritious meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends.
