Preparation

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

  • Pour scoops of the mixture onto the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd.
  • Cook for a couple of minutes until the edges firm up and rise.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until golden brown.
  • If needed, add a splash of water, cover, and let them steam for a few minutes to ensure the insides are cooked through.
