Spinach and tomato gram flour pancakes

Method

  1. Thinly slice the spring onions, halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the spinach.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the gram flour, baking powder, cumin and a good pinch of salt. Add the oat milk and 50 ml of water gradually, whisking to a smooth, thick batter, then leave it for 5 minutes.
  3. Fold the spinach, tomatoes and spring onions into the batter.
  4. Warm 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Spoon in batter to make 3 or 4 pancakes, about 8 cm wide.
  5. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until bubbles appear and the underside is golden, then flip and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
  6. Keep the cooked pancakes warm under a clean tea towel, add the rest of the oil, and cook the remaining batter the same way to make 6 to 8 pancakes.
  7. Eat them hot, with black pepper ground over.

Tip Do not skip the rest; gram flour needs time to soak up the liquid, or the pancakes taste raw.
