Tips
- I recommend using a non-stick skillet or griddle and keeping the heat at medium to ensure the mini pancakes cook evenly without burning. I also find that using a tablespoon to pour the batter helps keep the pancakes small and uniform in size.

Frequently Asked Questions
How spicy are these pancakes?
The level of spiciness can be adjusted to your taste preferences by varying the amount of cayenne pepper used in the recipe. Start with a smaller amount and add more if you prefer a spicier flavor.
Where can I find samphire?
Samphire is often available at specialty grocery stores, fish markets, or farmer’s markets, especially in coastal areas. You can also sometimes find it online or substitute with a similar sea vegetable like seaweed.
How do I blanch samphire?
To blanch the samphire, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the samphire and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Quickly transfer the samphire to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then drain well before using in the recipe.
