BM# 68-Cooking Carnival: Day 1
Theme for Week 1: Recipes using Ancient Grains flour blend
Dish: Ancient Grains Pancakes

It is September which means it’s time for another Mega Marathon. So it’s going to be a Cooking Carnival all this September here at Cook’s Hideout. Don’t forget to check out what my fellow marathoners are cooking too for the event.

So we have a choice of picking 1 ingredient or 1 category for the whole month or pick 5 different ingredients or categories. I have 5 ingredients planned for the month, so each week I will have a new ingredient.

Pancakes with Ancient grains flour blend

My choice for the first week is Ancient Grains Flour Blend. It is a blend of ancient grain flours. So what are ancient grains? Ancient grains are grains and pseudocereals that have not been changed by selective breeding over the recent millennia, as opposed to more widespread cereals like corn, rice and modern wheat, which are the product of years of selective breeding. Ancient grains include grains spelt, kamut, millet, barley, teff, oats, freekeh, bulgur, farro, sorghum and pseudocereals like quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat and chia.

We had a theme for Ancient grains bread in our Bread Bakers group few months back. I had bookmarked some recipes to make for the event, but we were asked to use only ancient grains and not mix it with any ‘modern’ flours. So I ended up making Spelt Parathas that month.

I made my own ancient grains flour blend (recipe is here) and the first recipe I made with it are these pancakes. Recipe is from King Arthur flour. These pancakes are gluten free and I skipped the eggs to make them vegan too. They had a earthy and slightly bitter taste from all of the grains in it. That didn’t really bother anyone and they were quite a hit with the kids and adults in the family. So if you want a hearty and nutritious start to any day, try these pancakes.
