Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds ingredients.

Start by adding 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup wheat flour into a bowl.

Add 1/4 cup powdered milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon instant yeast to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Add a pinch of saffron powder (optional) and 1/4 cup whole black seeds (optional).

Pour in 2 cups of warm water and mix everything into a batter.

Cover the batter and let it rest and rise for 30 minutes.

Heat a griddle or large pan over medium heat.

Transfer the batter into a squeezy tube for easier pouring (optional).

Pour the batter onto the griddle to form little circles, adjusting the size as desired.

Cook until the color changes slightly and holes start to form on the surface, then flip them over.

Cook until the other side is golden brown, almost crispy, but not quite.

Transfer the pancakes to a serving dish.

Brush the pancakes with melted ghee or butter and serve with honey or date molasses on the side.
