Nigerian Style Pancakes
The African Pancake is a straightforward yet delicious meal. Just like most Pancakes, the African pancake consists of ''dry ingredients'' - Flour, leavening, and sugar and ''wet ingredients'' - milk, Egg, and butter. However, it's unique texture is what makes it different from the fluffy Pancake.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose Flour
- ¼ cup sugar 4 Tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- oil For cooking
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking, powder, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, add the eggs, milk, and melted butter together. Whisk well
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture becomes smooth and lump free.
- Heat a griddle or pan and add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil
- Ladle about ¼ of a cup (more or less depending on how big you want your pancakes to be) at a time into the Pan.
- Spread the batter into a circle by rotating and tilting the Pan (you can check video above)
- Flip to the other side as soon as you see the batter is beginning to solidify
- Cook the other side for about 30-40 seconds or till light Brown
- This yielded 10 medium sized Pancakes
Notes
1 - Don't over mix the batter this will lead to a tough Pancake as the mixing will develop the gluten level in the flour
2 - Use a heavy bottomed and preferably non stick Pan this will help prevent the batter from burning before cooking
3 - Have all your ingredients at room temperature.
