These pancakes are lighter than those in your standard stack: slender and slightly crisp on the outside, light and lacy with assertive raspberry flavor. The raspberries are blended into the milk before being added to the batter—a solution to having pockmarks of berry flavor only here and there. You'll want a mile-high pile.

　　

Ingredients

10 (5- to 6-inch/12.5- to 15-centimeter) pancakes

　　1 cup (4 ounces/120 grams) quinoa flour

　　1/4 cup (1 ounce/50 grams) granulated sugar

　　1 tablespoon baking powder

　　1/2 teaspoon salt

　　3/4 cup (6 ounces/180 milliliters) milk

　　8 tablespoons (4 ounces/120 grams) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled, plus more for greasing the skillet

　　2 large eggs

　　1 cup (5 ounces/150 grams) fresh raspberries, plus more for garnish

　　1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

　　1/2 cup (3 ounces/90 grams) cooked quinoa

　　Salted butter, at room temperature, for serving

　　Maple syrup or Honey, for serving

　　Greek yogurt, for serving

　　

Step 1

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

　　

Step 2

2. In a blender, purée the milk, butter, eggs, raspberries, and vanilla until the raspberries are broken down.

　　

Step 3

3. Whisk the raspberry mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir in the quinoa. Heat a medium nonstick skillet or a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter. Use a 1/4 cup measure to scoop the batter onto the skillet. Cook until the batter begins to bubble and the edges of the pancakes look opaque and set, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes over and cook until steam begins to escape through the pores in the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

　　

Step 4

4. Top with butter and honey or a dollop of Greek yogurt and syrup or honey.
