Method

  • step 1

    Boil the kettle, and put the buttermilk and beaten egg in a food processor. Put the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water to wilt. Squeeze out any excess water, add to the processor and blitz to a smooth purée.

  • step 2

    Put all the dry ingredients, plus 1 tsp salt, in a bowl and gradually mix in the purée. If a little thick, add 1 tbsp water to loosen to a batter consistency.

  • step 3

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, non-stick pan over a medium heat and spoon in two or three ladlefuls of batter. Cook for 1-2 mins or until bubbles appear, then flip over for 1 min more or until cooked. Repeat until you have 12 pancakes. Serve topped with poached eggs, if you like.

Would these freeze well?

Nice pancakes, good texture and filling. Could have done with a little more salt and perhaps some fresh herbs to add more flavour as quite subtle.

question

Are the 2 poached eggs included in the total protein per serving, or is it just the pancakes?

Hi, thanks for your question. The poached eggs are a serving suggestion and are optional so they are not included in the nutritional figures in this particular recipe. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

I agree with the comment below about it being a bit of a faff and had to start again as I misread the first step and mixed the raw spinach with the beaten egg - oops). I halved the recipe (although used a whole egg in the batter) and made about 9 pancakes. A good recipe for using up spinach.

question

Recipe makes 12; image shows 3 on a plate; nutritional information is 'per serving'. What's a 'serving'?

Sorry this is a little misleading. A serving is 3 so 12 serves four as a main but you could also have them individually as a side as part of a larger breakfast.
