Community member Jonathan Teller-Elsberg discovered that Kernza's light texture makes for an incredibly tender pancake. This egg-forward recipe works beautifully with sweet or savory toppings.

Delicate, crepe-like pancakes with a high egg-to-flour ratio. Kernza keeps them soft and impossible to overmix.
Ingredients
Dry
- 1 cup Kernza Flour
- dash salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Wet
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- dash vanilla extract
- oil or butter for coating pan
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix all dry ingredients.
- Crack all five eggs into the dry mix, blend with a whisk
- Add milk and vanilla extract, blend well with whisk
- Set pan (cast iron recommended) on high heat for 1 minute to preheat, then turn heat down to low-medium (adjust as needed during cooking)
- Wipe very thin coating of oil or butter on pan
