Well Seasoned - A Cooking With Cast Iron Series: Apple Cinnamon Acorn Pancakes
I love to make this breakfast over a nice outdoor fire in the Autumn. It is especially satisfying when I go collect and process the acorns and apples myself.
There’s a lot of controversy about the healthiness of acorns because some varieties have a high tannin content, but if you have the time, patience, and desire, the leeching process (which removes the tannins) is well worth it! The good news is acorn flour, or acorn meal, is getting easier to find in different stores. However, it is a little expensive due to the amount of work it takes to properly process the nuts.
