A versatile and vibrant breakfast spread featuring light spelt pancakes served with both savory smoked salmon and fresh fruity toppings. Perfect for a weekend brunch or a special family gathering where everyone can customize their own plate.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spelt flour with the egg yolks and approximately half of the milk. Whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
Gradually pour in the remaining milk while whisking continuously. The resulting batter should be quite thin and runny.
In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake batter using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface by wiping a drop of oil around with a piece of kitchen paper.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake into the pan, leaving enough space between them. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges are set.
Carefully flip the pancakes with a palette knife and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
Arrange the warm pancakes on a large serving platter. On one side, top pancakes with flaked salmon, soft cheese, cucumber slices, red onion, and lemon wedges.
On the other side, top pancakes with natural yogurt, sliced bananas, and fresh berries.
Finish by scattering savory garnishes like capers, dill, and spring onions over the salmon side, and walnuts, seeds, cinnamon, and maple syrup over the fruit side. Alternatively, serve these in small bowls on the side for guests to help themselves.
For the fluffiest pancakes, ensure your egg whites are whisked in a completely grease-free bowl. You can substitute spelt flour with plain all-purpose flour if preferred. If serving a crowd, keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the batches.
