We cooked up a batch of spelt pancakes for Chubbs' breakfast this morning. Spelt is an ancient grain, that is high in protein (17%) and the fibre in it helps to reduce cholesterol levels. People with wheat or gluten sensitivites have been known to be able to tolerate spelt.
Fuzzy was in charge of the cooking.
Using organic spelt flour, sunflower oil, pure maple syrup (not maple-flavoured syrup please!), an egg, breastmilk, and a little baking powder, these pancakes turned out awesome! So much so that Chubbs ate one and a half of these palm-sized treats (and would have had more if we didn't stop him), together with a banana. The flavour is nutty and aromatic, and the pancakes did not have a gritty texture.
