ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1⁄4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce (or kosher salt, to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup diced ham (or cooked meat of choice)
- 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 scallions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
- 1 cup raw mung bean sprouts
- 1⁄2 cup bamboo shoot (canned, strips, rinsed)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for frying)
directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut flour, fish sauce, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- Mix in the ham, spinach, scallions, cilantro, mung bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, baking soda, and some freshly ground black pepper.
- Melt a tablespoon of butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Use a large scoop (3-tablespoon size) to plop the batter in the pan, and flatten the pancake to ½-inch thick with the back of a spoon. I can comfortably fit 3 pancakes in my 12-inch skillet at a time – don’t overcrowd them!
- Fry without disturbing the patties for 2 minutes before flipping the pancakes over and cooking it on the other side for about 1-2 minutes more. The pancakes are cooked through when the centers bounce back when you press down on them with your finger.
- Repeat until you’re out of batter. I like these pancakes plain, but they’re also great topped with sriracha.
