    I know, I know, I'm late for pancake day. Better late than never right?

    To be honest, I had completely forgotten about pancake day until I looked at my Instagram feed last night and saw pancake after pancake.

    So it is perhaps fortuitous then that I planned to share these Pea and Mint Pancakes with you today even though I had no idea pancake day was upon us.

    These Pea and Mint Pancakes have become a bit of a Saturday brunch staple in our house. 

    While I prefer to use fresh peas, when I can get my hands on them, for these pancakes, frozen peas work just as well. If using frozen peas though I suggest baby peas if you can get them as they are sweeter.

    Serve these pea pancakes with wedges of lemon, and mint leaves, parsley leaves and cucumber tossed in a lemon mustard dressing.

    Ingredients

    • 300 g fresh peas or frozen baby peas
    • ½ cup mint leaves
    • 4 spring onions chopped
    • 1 tbs heaped gluten free cornflour
    • ¼ cup buckwheat flour
    • 1 extra large egg
    • salt and pepper
    • 2 tbs olive oil
    • lemon wedges to serve
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Place a medium saucepan of water over a high heat and bring to a boil. Fill a large bowl with cold water and half a dozen ice cubes. Quickly blanch the peas in boiling water for a 10 to 20 seconds. Drain and place in the bowl of ice water. Leave to cool.
    • Add all of the ingredients in a food processor and process until combined.
    • Heat a large frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the oil and add spoonfuls of the batter. Cook until the edges are lightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, and flip and cook for a further minute. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
    • Serve with a green salad, lemon wedges and a sprinkle of sea salt.

    Notes

    I like the slight nuttiness that buckwheat flour adds, but if you don't have buckwheat flour feel free to substitute cornflour.

      Such a lovely pancake alternative! I make little fritters that are similar to these but also have ricotta in - I love the combination of pea and mint.
