Spinach Pancakes to Serve with Your Lakin’s Gorges Cheese

1/2 bag spinach

Wash then put in a pot and cook until wilted. Put in a strainer to drain.

Batter:

1 cup flour

Pinch salt

1 egg

1-1/4 cup milk

vegetable oil

1. Combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and break in the egg.

2. Add half the milk and work into flour with a whisk. Add the remaining milk slowly, wishing until batter is the consistency of cream.

3. Cover bowl and let stand for 30 minutes.

4. Prepare whatever filling you desire…. such as chicken in a walnut sauce with ricotta; leftover hake with a Cheese sauce made with Opus 42…

5. The pancakes are time consuming to cook. I use a cast iron griddle, brought to medium high heat. Stir the spinach into the batter. Evenly coat the pan with oil, pour in 1/4 of the batter and use the edge of your pancake spatula to spread the batter in a thin layer across the pan. The first two never turn out well. Feed them to your dog. Cook about one minute on each side. I use the pancake spatula turned over to flip the pancakes. Oil the pan between each new cake. Stack them in a clean tea towel or in a low oven to stay warm until you are done.
