The star aniseed in these pancakes gives a lovely extra but subtle flavour, and of course the strawberries add a delicious freshness. Makes 5 medium pancakes.

Prep time:
Total time:
You need
- ½ cup wholemeal spelt flour
- ½ cup white spelt flour
- 2 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp star aniseed powder
- 1 tbsp coconut palm sugar
- 2 tbsp rice bran oil
- ¼ tsp Himalayan rock salt
- 1 cup of oat milk (or another non dairy milk that
- 1 tbsp of hemp or chia seeds per pancake
- 2.5 cups of strawberries
- 2.5 tsp vanilla paste (or essence, vanilla bean based)
- oil to cook with (coconut oil is nice here)
To do
- with a stick blender (or in the small bowl of your food processor), super quickly blend the strawberries with the vanilla paste, so you keep some lumps and don't end up with a strawberry soup
- mix the flours, baking powder, star aniseed powder, sugar and salt, whisk through well so there are no lumps
- add the non dairy milk and the oil, whisk till nice and smooth
- heat ½ tbsp of oil in a medium skillet to medium/high (not super hot), and add a ladle of batter and swirl the pan to evenly distribute the batter
- bubbles will appear, and when the sides let loose (with a bit of help of your spatula), flip them over (help by holding the edge of the pancake) and give it just a few more minutes to brown
- when nice and brown, serve pancake with strawberry mash and a table spoon of hemp seeds
Notes
Apart for the pancakes themselves, I haven't added any sugar or otherwise sweet things to this recipe, but if you're in a sweet mood, of course you can add any preferred sweetener, or chopped dates 🙂
