If you do like to use the millet Flour and the sprouted wheat flour I used, here are links to order them from Amazon.
Do not store Flours for too long, use them within 4-6 weeks or less.
Step 1. You will making the batter the previous night, hence the millet flour and sprouted wheat flour will have all the time to soak and be softened to make the pancakes in the morning.
Step 2. In a large mixing bowl, add condensed milk and the milk and whisk until well incorporated. Now add all the all.the three flours and whisk nicely until no lumps are seen. This may take about 3-5 minutes. Now close with the lid and keep it in the fridge after 30 minutes of resting in the kitchen counter. Batter will thick yet slightly runny.
Step 3. Next day morning, take it out of the fridge and add the carob power, nutmeg powder, 1/2 tsp baking powder and if needed 3 tsp milk to help mix all well together. Let it rest outside for about 20 minutes before making the Pancakes.
Step 4. Place your pan on heat. Wait for it heat evenly. Take a medium small ladle spoon and use to pour the batter on the pan, use coconut oil to pour on top, while cooking the pancakes. About 2 tsp on each. Cook on both the sides unit golden brown, lay them on the large plate, not to place them on top of each other, until you have added the maple syrup on each pancakes. Now place them as you like in a container, pack it as part of the picnic for the kids. Enjoy the outdoors nature and let your mind marvel at the beauty of nature.
Finger Millet aka Ragi îs a superfood and essential source of Calcium and Iron, hence its good for all three doshas, VATA, PITTA or KAPAHA. For summer seasons its good to cook it in milk, coconut milk and cooling oils to balance out the heating potency of the millets.
