I am reforming my diet. Going on the un-diet, where everything is allowed, and especially good, healthy fats. Today I am starting with clarified butter and buttermilk to make a Squash Buttermilk Blintze. It started out as a pancake, and looked like a blintze when it came out.
I do not know exactly what a blintze is, but this sure looked like what I would think to be somewhere between a crepe and a pancake...and, it was yellow!! And delicious.
1 cup butternut squash, diced
1 cup spelt flour
1/8 t salt
1/4 t baking powder
1 T jaggery or palm sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 T clarified butter
Steam the butternut squash for 15 minutes, or until soft. Mash.
Sift dry ingredients together into a mixing bowl. Create a hole in the center.
Add wet ingredients (besudes butter) and butternut squash together. Pour into center of dry ingredients. Wisk slowly until mixed. Add 2 t butter, wisk until just slightly mixed.
Heat clarified butter in a skillet or griddle over medium. Ladle a scoop of batter and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
Top with apple sauce, sour cream, maple syrup or caramel.
Superb!
