Flax seed oil contains a type of essential fatty acid known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Numerous independent studies indicate that this fatty acid seem to be beneficial for a wide range of health problems, including very common plagues such as arthritis, heart disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. Including more flax seed or flax seed oil in our everyday diet is therefore a good idea if we wish to prevent such common problems. Many people are confused about how to integrate flax seed in their normal diet, but cooking with flax seed oil is actually very easy.
Flax seed oil should not be used as frying oil, but there is a rich profusion of other ways to make use of this beneficial oil. You can for instance use this easy flax seed oil recipe to make pancakes with flax seed oil. Sift together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, combine 1 slightly beaten egg with 1 1/2 cups of milk and 2 tablespoons of flax seed oil. Add to flour mixture and stir until smooth. Fry just like you normally fry pancakes. Since there is oil in the batter, you can use less grease than normally in the frying pan, using roughly 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. The flax seed oil will give the pancakes a delicious nutty taste.
