Amaranth flour pancakes
Description
Goes wonderfully with tea and coffee. Amaranth flour is very good for your health: it helps lower cholesterol in the blood, so nutritionists advise eating more of it. Pancakes made with this flour turn out tender, supple, and very fragrant—give them a try when you have a chance, I wholeheartedly recommend them. Serve chilled or lightly warm.

Step 5
Grease the pan with vegetable oil, pour slightly less than a full ladle of amaranth batter for each pancake, and cook each side for about 30–40 seconds. I had to grease the pan before every pancake because they stuck a little. You also need to stir the batter constantly, because amaranth flour settles to the bottom.

Step 6
Stack the finished pancakes on a flat plate and let them sit for about 10 minutes; during that time the crispy edges will soften. From this amount of batter I got 14 pancakes.

If you prepare everything correctly, you will end up with soft, pliable, and fragrant thin pancakes. Serve them with honey or maple syrup. You can also fill them with any filling you like.
