instructions
    1

    Begin by rinsing the spinach thoroughly and tossing it into a medium skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

    2

    In a mixing bowl, crack 4 eggs and whisk them together. Add 1/2 cup of milk, 1 cup of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

    3

    Fold the cooked spinach into the egg mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the batter.

    4

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

    5

    Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the edges start to lift and bubbles form. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

    6

    Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

    7

    Serve warm, potentially with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.
