Kamut Pancakes
One of the things I enjoy doing while in Alba is being able to experiment with different flours from my "local" mill - Mulino Marino. While I can find a few products back in Melbourne, the price charged tends to put them out of my range for everyday use. I've previously used their Sapori Antichi and Sette Effe flours - this time I'm trying their Kamut.
