Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

    ~1 min
  2. 2

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.

    ~2 min
  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. A few lumps are okay.

    ~1 min
  4. 4

    Gently fold in the chopped kimchi, kimchi juice, and minced fermented garlic scapes into the batter. Be careful not to overmix.

    ~3 min
  5. 5

    Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld and the gluten to relax.

    ~30 min
  6. 6

    While the batter is resting, prepare the gochujang yogurt drizzle. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, gochujang, honey (or maple syrup), and lime juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

    ~5 min

    Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

    ~5 min

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

    ~10 min
  10. 10

    Serve the savory pancakes immediately, drizzled with the gochujang yogurt sauce and sprinkled with fresh chives.

Tips

  • For an even tangier flavor, you can let the batter rest for up to an hour, or even refrigerate it overnight. Adjust cooking time slightly if batter is cold.
  • If fermented garlic scapes are unavailable, you can substitute with regular minced garlic, but be aware that the unique fermented flavor will be absent.
