Ingredients
- 200 g Spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 500 ml Milk
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tbsp Butter or oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
If using fresh spinach, finely chop it. If using frozen spinach, make sure it is fully thawed and excess water is squeezed out.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the flour to the egg-milk mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped spinach, salt, and nutmeg (if using) until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.
Step 7
Pour a small ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread it gently to form a thin pancake, about 10–12 cm in diameter.
Step 8
Cook for about 2–3 minutes on one side, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
Step 10
Serve the spinach pancakes warm with lingonberry jam, sour cream, or your favorite toppings.
