Ingredients

• 150 grams fresh spinach leaves
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 240 milliliters milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 30 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash and drain the spinach leaves thoroughly. Chop the spinach roughly and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and one tablespoon of olive oil until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped spinach, minced garlic, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped chives until evenly distributed through the batter.

Step 6

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Pour approximately 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread out the batter if necessary.

Step 8

Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.

Step 9

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 10

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 11

Serve the spinach pancakes warm, garnished with extra parmesan cheese or chives if desired.
