How to Make Amaranth Flax Pancakes

  1. Heat a lightly greased frying pan (cast iron preferred) over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the amaranth flour and flax seed meal.
  3. Add the egg to the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the water, whisking constantly until a thick, but pourable batter forms. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
  6. Cover the pan with a glass lid.
  7. Cook for approximately 1 minute, or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
  8. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate.
  10. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt.
  11. Drizzle with honey and add your favorite fruit.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
