Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup organic milled flax seed
  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons sugar I used sucanat
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or avocado oil

Instructions

  • Mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl. Mix in orange zest.
  • Mix egg, buttermilk, oil, vanilla in another bowl.
  • Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients. Mix. Batter will be thick.
  • Heat a griddle or seasoned cast iron pan on medium heat. Use a paper towel to wipe on some oil. There should be no oil puddling.
  • Cook pancakes, turning the heat down. Turn when edges appear cooked. You might have to do a practice pancake to see how your stove and pan work with this batter.
  • Serve with additional orange zest and maple syrup.
