Millet scallion pancakes are a delectable and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, these pancakes are a symphony of flavors and textures. Made with wholesome millet flour, scallions, and a touch of garlic, these pancakes are a healthier alternative to traditional pancakes. They are gluten-free, making them suitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The addition of scallions imparts a subtle oniony flavor that complements the nutty taste of millet, while garlic adds a savory touch. These pancakes can be served on their own or paired with your favorite toppings, such as fried eggs, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream.

This article provides two variations of millet scallion pancakes: a basic recipe and a vegan version. The basic recipe utilizes eggs to create a rich and flavorful pancake, while the vegan version replaces eggs with a mixture of chia seeds and water, resulting in a tender and fluffy pancake that is equally delicious. Both recipes are easy to follow and require minimal ingredients, making them perfect for busy weeknight meals or relaxed weekend brunches.

Tips:

  • When measuring the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife or straight edge. Do not scoop the flour directly from the bag, as this will result in too much flour being used.
  • Make sure the water is hot enough to dissolve the sugar and yeast. If the water is too cold, the yeast will not activate and the pancakes will not rise.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the yeast to ferment and the pancakes will be lighter and fluffier.
  • When cooking the pancakes, make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the batter. If the pan is not hot enough, the pancakes will stick to the pan.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown. Do not overcook the pancakes, as they will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, honey, maple syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
