• Teff grain and ricotta pancakes with apple topping

I have been experimenting with teff, a grain of fine rust colored kernels with a slightly nutty flavor, that is grown by a local farmer. When cooked it has the consistency of polenta, which reminded me of Mark Bittman's polenta pancakes, which led me to another Bittman pancake recipe for light ricotta pancakes, which led me to this recipe. The result was delicious: light and tender, but with a distinctive flavor and satisfying texture. For topping, I cooked up some local gravenstein apples with butter and cinnamon. These have become our family's hands down favorite pancakes.
