Amaranth pancakes are a refined version of classic Russian pancakes with the addition of amaranth flour. Amaranth is an ancient grain valued for its nutritional properties and delicate nutty flavor. These pancakes are soft, airy, with light sweet notes and a subtle aroma that complements the traditional taste of Russian cuisine. Amaranth adds extra nutrition to them, making them a great choice for a healthy breakfast or snack. They can be served with fresh berries, honey, or sour cream to enhance their rich flavor. This dish is not only delicious but also healthy due to amaranth's essential micronutrients and proteins needed by the body.
