- Why does the pancake tear?
- You probably didn't rest the batter (flour needs time to swell), or you put too much spinach in, weakening the batter's structure.
Savoury spinach pancakes
This pancake captivates not only with its colour but by smuggling vegetables into a popular dish. The mild taste of spinach doesn't dominate, but rather adds freshness to the batter, which can be an excellent base for any savoury filling (cheese, ham, sour cream).

Instructions
1
✓
Sauté the spinach and crushed garlic in a little oil until wilted. Let cool, squeeze out the liquid, and chop finely.
Tip: Spinach has a high water content; if you don't squeeze it out, it will dilute the batter.
2
✓
Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, eggs and milk until smooth. Fold in the spinach.
Tip: Add the milk gradually to avoid lumps.
3
✓
Rest the batter for 10 minutes.
Tip: During resting, the gluten strands in the flour relax, making the pancake more elastic.
4
✓
Fry the pancakes in a hot, oiled pan on both sides.
Tip: The first pancake often sticks because the pan's heat distribution isn't even yet.
