Spelt pancakes stuffed with ham and cheese make for a delicious, quick, and healthy meal, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.
Spelt flour, an ancient grain packed with fiber, protein, and essential nutrients, adds a nutty flavor and a light texture to these pancakes, making them both nutritious and satisfying.
To prepare, whisk together one cup of spelt flour, one teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and one beaten egg in a bowl, gradually adding one cup of milk until you achieve a smooth batter.
Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of olive oil or butter, then pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer.
Cook for about two minutes until the edges start to lift, then flip and cook for another minute on the other side.
Once the pancake is golden, place a slice of ham and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese—cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss work well—on one half of the pancake.
Fold it over to let the cheese melt and the ham warm through, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even heating.
These savory pancakes can be served warm with a side of fresh greens, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of honey mustard for an extra touch of flavor.
