Delicious, dietary or protein-rich, with or without eggs, prepared with legume flour and in a vegan version, pancakes can be prepared in many ways, simple or spicy.
In recipes for sweet pancakes, the most popular are cinnamon and ginger powder, to a lesser extent vanilla, but we also recommend trying them with anise if you appreciate the taste.

For savory pancakes, the most used spices are turmeric, curry, chili pepper and, as in the sweet version, ginger which lends itself well to both combinations, such as ground cloves and nutmeg. Furthermore, in the savory version you can combine them with many delicious spicy sauces that are easy to prepare at home.
