• Buy locally grown organic ingredients, if possible

  • 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour

  • 4 tablespoons whole milk, more as needed

  • 1/4 teaspoon unsalted melted butter

  • Pinch of freshly ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 -1 teaspoon unsalted melted butter

  • 3-4 drops vanilla extract

  • Maple syrup

• Whole-Wheat Flour provides fiber and nutrients, supporting digestive health. Cinnamon is known for its warming properties, cinnamon can help balance Vata and Kapha dosha.

• Individuals with gluten sensitivity should choose alternative flours.

  Moderation is key, as excessive consumption of sweet items may imbalance Kapha dosha.

Directions:

1. Whisk together the wheat flour, milk, butter, cinnamon powder, and vanilla extract until a smooth texture is reached. Let it rest after mixing for 5-10 minutes.

2. Preheat the griddle and lightly coat it with butter. Once the griddle is ready, pour the batter carefully into the center of the heated griddle. Let the pancake cook at low heat until it starts to bubble, and edges are golden brown.

3. Flip the pancake to cook the other side until golden brown. Transfer the pancake to plates. Serve immediately with butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!
