Organic German Pancakes from Freshly Milled Flour

Want to try something fun and a little different?
These organic German pancakes are made from scratch with freshly milled wheat, giving them a golden, fluffy texture and a naturally high protein boost.

Finish them with a pat of butter and a tablespoon or two of fresh lemon juice and your favorite natural sweetener—organic powdered sugar, local raw honey, or 100% pure maple syrup.

Tip: No powdered sugar on hand? Just blend sucanat in a dry blender for an easy homemade version.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour (we use freshly milled wheat flour)
  • 1 cup organic milk (almond or coconut milk work great too)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 pastured eggs
  • ½ stick organic butter

For baking:

  • Preheated cast iron skillet or family-style glass baking dish
  • Oven heated to 380–400°F

Instructions

  1. Cut the butter into thin pieces and use it to generously grease each skillet or baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk all ingredients until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or cake pan.
  3. Bake for 15–19 minutes, until puffed and golden brown (longer for a deeper color).
  4. Serve warm with organic powdered sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 100% maple syrup.

Variation ideas:

  • Peanut butter with maple syrup
  • Fruit spread or fresh berries
