Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Petals and Spelt Pancakes

 Welcome to Rain's Art and Dinner Date!  The theme is Petals.

This is a 'fallen petals' piece I did way back in September of 2013 that I located in an old blog post!




For the Dinner Date I am showing some spelt flour pancakes I made.  They are so light and fluffy,  perfect with a little syrup.



Here is the spelt flour pack I bought along with the pancake recipe on the back. It made a lot more than 4 pancakes, maybe a dozen. Thanks to Ivy at The Happy Whisk for encouraging me to try spelt flour.  She says there are white or brown spelt varieties.  This is brown whole grain spelt.

Beautiful painting.
Oh, this is crazy! Just the other day I saw on a show called "Galileo" or "Adventure life", I can´t recall which one, how a lady opened a shop with such fluffy pancakes!!! I think it was in Japan even!

Your fallen petals are lovely as is the bouquet and vase they fell from. I'm sorry ... Spelt flour? I am not familiar with it. Could you bring me up to speed? The pancakes do look good though and with syrup ... yummm! I think we have finally made it to Spring here ... hope you have too, it is really lovely out :)

I bet spelt flour pancakes taste great. And I like that vase of flowers a lot.

Christine said...

Andrea spelt flour is an ancient grain that is higher in protein and fibre and has a nutty flavour. It has a more easily digestible gluten as well.

Well done on the vase.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Glad you dug back into the archives for that one. Have yet to try spelt but you might be pushing me in that direction.

Fallen petals is lovely. I've wondered about spelt flower. I'll have to get some and try these pancakes. Thanks, my friend!

I LOVE your fallen petal painting. I have never heard of spelt.

That's a lovely piece of art, Christine!
Is Spelt flour supposed to be better than regular? I've never used it.

Christine said...

Suz spelt has health benefits for some. It is an ancient grain the gluten is better tolerated if you are sensitive to gluten

Busy Bee Suz said...

Thank you!! Good to know.
