Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

• cup milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 cup spelt flour
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• teaspoon baking soda
• teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the milk and lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it curdles.
2. Once the milk has curdled, stir in the beaten egg and melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the spelt flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the milk mixture until just combined. The batter should be lumpy, not smooth.
5. Heat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Using a large spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear dry.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• You can use vinegar instead of lemon juice to sour the milk, or substitute cup of buttermilk in place of the milk and lemon juice (or vinegar).
• If you prefer, you can replace the melted butter with olive oil.
