Like a Dutch baby or german pancake baked in the oven in an iron skillet. Topped with fruit and powdered sugar or brown sugar. I found this recipe in the newspaper 25 years ago and make it often, my family loves it. I put it under the broiler to brown on top, this is the best part.

SPINACH PANCAKES



Spinach Pancakes image

Excellent side dish, or as a substitute for pasta under marinara sauce. I love these so much, and so does my son. We have them at least once a week. I frequently substitute other vegetables....shredded carrots, zucchini, broccoli, etc. I also sometimes just put the whole batch in the frying pan, and when it comes time to flip, I will cut it into quarters with my spatula and flip each section individually.

Tips:

  • Fresh spinach leaves: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh spinach leaves. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps to make the pancakes light and fluffy. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Seasoning: Don't be afraid to season the pancake batter with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the pancakes.
  • Cooking the pancakes: Cook the pancakes over medium heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the pancakes will not cook evenly.
  • Serving suggestions: Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Scandinavian spinach pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy spinach, give these pancakes a try!
