Whole Wheat Pancakes with Farmer Cheese

Cooking in the time of quarantine. Stuck at home with your parents? Are you tired of your dad’s lousy old pancakes? Here’s a little video to get you through your morning. These are unusual times, but we can all get through this together! This recipe is for semi-healthy and super-tasty whole wheat pancakes. We’re using a special tumminia flour from Castelvetrano, Sicily thanks to our friends at Gustiamo - but any old whole wheat flour will do. Enjoy! Video below.

Ingredients

1/2 cup of whole wheat flour

1/2 cup of all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp brown sugar

a pinch of salt

1 tbsp melted butter

1 cup of milk

1 egg

1 cap of vanilla

1/4 cup of farmer cheese, or ricotta (optional)

Flake salt for finishing

Maple syrup

Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients and mix well. Add the farmer’s cheese last and gently mix in without breaking it up too much. You want it a little chunky.

Heat up butter in a skillet (a generous amount is recommended) and cook pancakes over medium/high heat until crispy along the edges.

Finish with some nice flake salt and maple syrup. Enjoy!
