Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
~3 min - 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
~2 min - 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
~2 min - 4
Gently swirl the fig jam and lemon zest into the batter. Aim for streaks rather than a uniform mix.
~3 min - 5
Heat a lightly oiled frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface.
~1 min - 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface of the pancake.
~5 min - 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
~20 min - 8
Serve hot, optionally with extra fig jam or a drizzle of honey.
Tips
- For an extra tangy flavor, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients.
- These pancakes are best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster or oven.
