Spelt flour pancakes with spinach, garlic and cheese.
Today I started cutting frames for two paintings. I do the carpentry work and Helma, my wife, finishes them. She is an expert in gold leaf gilding. She followed a special training at the National Restoration Center in Amsterdam. Later I will show you the results.
Then quickly into the kitchen. For today: wholemeal spelt flour pancakes with spinach, garlic and cheese.
The ingredients for 10 pancakes.
- 300 gr. wholemeal Spelt flour
- Fresh spinach. Enough for two people. (For us it was the last harvest from the kitchen garden.)
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 glass of beer
- cup of milk
- 1 egg
- salt
- ripened cheese
- olive oil for frying
Mix in a bowl the flour and beer.
Add the egg.
Add enough milk to the mixture in order to obtain a nice and liquid batter. Add salt.
Leave it for half an hour in the refrigerator.
Wash the spinach and cook with entrained water in a large pan in 10 minutes.
Drain.
Mince the three cloves of garlic finely and mix it with the spinach.
Bake a pancake in a medium size fire pan once the oil is hot.
Lay a strip of spinach in the centre and at the edge two slices of cheese. Roll the pancake.
Maintain the pancake warm so the cheese melts slightly.
