These light and fluffy Einkorn pancakes never fail and also work well with any all-purpose flour. These einkorn pancakes also freeze well, but you can have a fresh batch whipped up in the time it takes to reheat them. It only takes 5 minutes to mix them up and less than 20 minutes to cook them. It’s just that easy!

How To Freeze Einkorn Pancakes

We started using Einkorn flour because of the gastrointestinal disorders we each had. We continue to use Einkorn because of its rich, deep flavor and unsurpassed nutritional value.

Einkorn Pancakes – An Easy Einkorn Pancake Recipe

Makes 6-7 medium-sized pancakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup All-purpose Einkorn flour
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp real salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup Buttermilk – You can use milk if you don’t have buttermilk, but the taste will be different.
    • You can also use water, but the taste will be different.
    • If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding two (2) teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar to the milk, stirring, and waiting 5 minutes.
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • Coconut Oil (to lightly oil griddle)
  • Butter
  • Syrup

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your skillet or griddle on medium-high heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and real salt together.
  3. Add egg, buttermilk, and water (DON’T add all the water at one time, just most of it – See Tip 1 Below).
  4. Using an over-and-under mixing method, stir only until well blended, but not too long, since this breaks down the rising effect of the batter. It may be a little lumpy.
  5. Oil the griddle. Pour batter on the griddle to the size of the pancake you want. 
  6. When the bubbles come through to the top middle of the pancake and the edges look firm, flip over with a spatula. The pancake will not have to cook as long on the other side, just until golden.
  7. When you take a pancake up, put a small dent or hole in the middle of the pancake and place a pat of butter into it to melt.
  8. Repeat until all the batter is gone.
  9. Add syrup and enjoy!

Tips for Your Einkorn Pancakes

  1. You can adjust the amount of buttermilk and water to your liking. A Thicker batter makes thicker pancakes.
  2. Pancake batter cannot be stored, so use it all. 
  3. If you find that the pancakes are burning, adjust your heat a little, as every stove is different!
  4. Pancakes are very versatile. You can add chocolate chips to the batter, or pureed fruit, or put fruit on top of the pancake instead of syrup.  Your imagination is the limit.

How To Freeze Einkorn Pancakes

  • You can freeze pancakes for about a month. Let the pancakes cool. Place a piece of parchment or freezer paper between each pancake, and put the number of pancakes you want into a freezer bag.
  • To reheat: Remove the number of Einkorn pancakes you want from the freezer, remove the paper, and place the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Do not preheat your oven. Put the baking sheet into the oven and turn it on to 350 degrees F. After 15 minutes, check to see if they’re warm. Check every 2 minutes until warm. Butter, syrup, and enjoy!

    My family loved these! I used Einkorn flour, and added a bit more than 1 cup after mixing everything up. I also did the milk + ACV to make buttermilk. Will definitely be making these again, thank you!

    Way too salty. Cut that salt in half if not more. Otherwise would be great!

      Hi Desiree, Actually the salt works in the recipe. I think the problem may be when we say “salt” we mean two different things. We use Real Salt, not the table salt you are probably referring to. To learn the difference in types of salt and why we use real salt, you can read here. I hope the recipe turned out good for you when you reduced the amount of your salt.
