Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (75 grams) teff flour (I make the flour by grinding the grain in a spice mill)
  • 1 cup (125 grams) white whole-wheat flour or regular whole-wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) baking soda
  • Rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, honey or agave syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon (5 grams) vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup (125 grams) cooked millet
  • 3 tablespoons (35 grams) chia seeds
  • 1 6-ounce box blueberries tossed with 1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Method

  • Sift together the teff, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar (if using sugar).
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and honey or agave nectar if using.
  • Quickly whisk in the flour mixture and fold in the chia seeds and millet.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and brush with butter or oil.
  • Drop the pancakes by the scant 1/4 cup onto the hot pan or griddle.
  • Place 7 or 8 blueberries on each pancake, gently pushing them down into the batter.
  • Cook until bubbles break through and turn the pancakes.
  • Cook for about 1 minute on the other side, until lightly browned.
  • Remove to a rack.
  • Serve with maple syrup and butter.
