Brown Rice Sesame Spinach And Scallion Pancakes Recipes

SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the first 3 (dry) ingredients plus the optional sesame seeds in a large mixing bowl and stir together.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water. Whisk together until smooth, then stir in the scallions.
• Heat enough oil to lightly coat a nonstick griddle or wide skillet. Ladle a scant 1/4 cup batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook over medium heat on both sides until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm (or start eating!) while cooking the remaining pancakes.

FAST SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil while you trim the scallions. Roughly chop three bunches, and mince the fourth.
• Add the larger portion of scallions to the water, and cook about 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Puree the cooked scallions in a blender, adding just enough of the cooking liquid to allow the machine to do its work.
• Mix the puree with the egg and soy, then gently stir in the flour until blended. Add pepper to taste, then the reserved minced scallions. Film a nonstick or well-seasoned skillet with oil, and turn the heat to medium-high. Drop the batter into the pan by the tablespoon or quarter cup, and cook about 2 minutes to a side, or until lightly browned. If necessary, the pancakes can be kept warm in a 200-degree oven for about 30 minutes.

BROWN RICE, SESAME, SPINACH AND SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and turmeric. Stir in the sesame seeds
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the buttermilk, milk and canola oil. Quickly whisk in the flour mixture and fold in the brown rice and scallions
• Steam the spinach over 1 inch of boiling water for 2 minutes, or just until wilted. Rinse with cold water, squeeze out excess water and chop. Stir into the pancake batter, along with the feta
• Heat a griddle or a large skillet, either nonstick or seasoned cast iron, over medium-high heat. Brush with butter or oil. Use a 1/4-cup ladle or cup measure to drop 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto your heated pan or griddle. Cook until they are brown on the edges and bubbles break through, 3 to 4 minutes, then carefully slide a spatula underneath and flip them over. Cook on the other side until pancakes are nicely browned. Serve hot
