  • 1 cup flour
  • fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 4 large eggs 2 whole and 2 separated
  • black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Sauvignon Blanc

  • 8 oz. spinach finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and a pinch of black pepper. Make an indentation in the center and add 2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks. With a fork mix the eggs into the flour mixture. Add garlic, white wine and slowly pour in the milk whisking as you pour. Mixture should be smooth, a few lumps are okay. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
  • After chilling, remove the bowl from the refrigerator and stir in the chopped spinach and chives.
  • In a medium chilled bowl, beat 2 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Beat until stiff peaks form. Gentle fold the egg whites into the flour batter.
  • In a large skillet or griddle, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet/griddle making a "pancake." Depending on the size of your skillet/griddle about 4-6 pancakes at a time. Flip the pancake after 3-4 minutes, they should be golden in color repeat on the other side.
