African Pancakes

 

African Pancakes are a warm, rich, soft, and delicious mix between crepes and American pancakes. A fantastic make-ahead breakfast that can be topped with butter, syrup, or cinnamon sugar!

 

Ingredients

 

2 cups flour

1 1/2 cup milk

1/2- 2/3 cup sugar

6 eggs

1/4 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla flavor

1/4- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 cup oil optional

 

Sift the flour, sugar, nutmeg, and salt. In a large mixing basin, combine eggs and milk using an electric mixer or by hand. Mix in the flour mixture until everything is well combined. Finally, add the melted butter.

Allow the batter to rest in the refrigerator for an hour or longer, or overnight.

 

Heat a skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium heat, then gently cover with vegetable oil, cooking spray, or clarified butter. Then, depending on the size of your fry pan or skillet, pour about a 1/2 cup of batter. Tilt the pan so that the batter covers the entire bottom. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the bottom is light brown.

Cook the opposite side after lifting with a spatula. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, powder sugar, or syrup while still hot.
