Method
- In a bowl, combine self-rising flour and yeast. Add egg yolk and milk, whisk until smooth.
- Coarsely chop spinach, green pepper, and onion. Add to the batter and mix.
- Season with salt, cumin, and mixed spices. Add butter and stir until the consistency is like a thick crepe batter.
- Whip the egg white to semi-stiff peaks and gently fold into the batter until airy.
- Butter a ring mold and heat a pan with a little oil. Pour batter into the mold or directly onto the pan to form pancakes. Cook until golden on one side, then flip and cook the other side.
- While cooking, prepare the flavored butter: melt butter in a small pot. In a bowl filled with ice water, combine the melted butter, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, coriander, and lemon juice. Whisk until it emulsifies and becomes a thick pomade. Add chili if desired. Roll in plastic wrap and freeze until firm.
- For the yogurt sauce: mix Greek yogurt with marjoram, chives, and paprika until smooth.
- Serve the pancakes with a slice of flavored butter and a dollop of yogurt sauce.
