Jade egg pancakes, named for their vibrant green hue and tender texture, are a nutritious and visually delightful dish. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting these perfect pancakes.
### Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 100g fresh spinach (or 50g frozen, thawed)
- 50g all-purpose flour
- 120ml milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp sesame oil, chopped green onions, or grated cheese for flavor.
### Instructions
1. Prepare the Spinach: Wash spinach thoroughly. If using fresh, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer to ice water. Squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely. For frozen spinach, thaw and drain well.
2. Make the Batter: In a blender, combine eggs, spinach, milk, flour, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. If the batter is too thick, add 1–2 tbsp more milk. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a thin layer of oil. Pour 2–3 tbsp of batter into the center, swirling to form a thin, even circle. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges set and the bottom turns golden. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil as needed.
### Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, plain or with a drizzle of sesame oil, a sprinkle of green onions, or a dollop of yogurt. They pair perfectly with fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
These pancakes are not only easy to make but also packed with protein and greens—ideal for a quick breakfast, lunch, or healthy snack!
