COME PROCEDERE
  1. First, prepare the buttermilk.
  2. Mix the yoghurt with the milk. Add the lemon juice, stir to combine and let the mixture stand for a few minutes.
  3. In the meanwhile, prepare the pancakes.
  4. In a bowl sift the flour 00 with the baking powder. Add the other dry ingredients (cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, baking soda, salt) and blend well.
  5. In another bowl mix the liquid ingredients (eggs and butter), including the buttermilk previously prepared.
  6. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the liquid ones and blend to make a smooth and homogeneous batter.
  7. Heat a non-stick pan and pour one small ladle of batter into it. Cook until bubbles begin to form on top and the pancake starts to look golden and firm. Flip it with a spatula and cook again for a few seconds.
  8. Keep warm and repeat until you have run out of batter.
  9. Prepare the poached eggs and the spinacini, avocado salad
  11. Crack an egg at a time into a cup and set aside.
  12. Take a small pot, fill it with water and put it on the stove. When the water boils, add the vinegar and lower the heat. With the handle of a tablespoon quickly stir the water to form a whirlpool, then carefully drop the egg into the center of it. Turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid for 3 mins.
  13. Remove the egg with a skimmer and gently sponge up with a piece of kitchen roll. Set aside and proceed in the same way with the other eggs.
  14. Dice the avocado and put it into a bowl with the spinacini. Dress them with lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and salt.
  15. The perfect accompaniment to your pancakes is ready!
  16. Serve the pancakes warm with the poached eggs and the spinacini and avocado salad.
