American pancakes with pistachio

American pancakes with pistachio:The pistachio milk in this recipe helps to create a wonderfully, creamy texture to your American pancakes with pistachio, as well as giving them a light green colour. While in Italy we found that it was very easy to obtain nut milks such as pistachio and almond.

Making American pancakes this way is perfect for your lactose intolerant family members, friends and guests.

• 250 grams (1 cup / 8 oz) all purpose flour
