Pancakes (African Style)
Ingredients
| 2 cup | 480 ml | flour |
| 1 1/2 cup | 360 ml | milk |
| 1/2- 2/3 cup | 120–160 ml | sugar |
| 6 | eggs | |
| 1/4 cup | 60 ml | melted butter |
| 1 teaspoon | 5 ml | vanilla flavor |
| 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon | 1.3–2.5 ml | nutmeg |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | oil (optional) |
Instructions
- Sift together flour, sugar, nutmeg and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk together with a mixer or by hand. Mix in flour mixture until everything has been incorporated. Finally stir in melted butter.
- Let the batter rest for about an hour or more in the refrigerator or overnight.
- Heat a skillet or a non stick frying pan then lightly coat the hot pan with vegetable oil, cooking spray, or clarified butter. Then pour about a 1/2 cup of batter depending on your fry pan or skillet. Tilt pan so the batter spreads across the bottom of the pan. Cook the pancake for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown.
- Lift with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, powder sugar or syrup.
Tips & Notes:
- You have to oil the pan for the first pancake, however, you do not have to do the same for the rest.
- For a lighter pancakes use 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup water instead of 1 1/2 cup milk.
