Ingredients
- 3 Cups Rice - use The Tuwo Rice or Jasmine Rice
- 3 Tablespoons Rice Pre-cooked
- 2 Teaspoons Yeast Active dry
- A little bit of potash or about a Teaspoon of Baking Soda
- 4 Tablespoons Sugar more or less
- 1 Cup Water a little more or less + 1/4 Cup for proofing the Yeast
- Vegetable Oil
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Soak the Rice for at least 8 hours or better still leave overnight
- Rinse the Rice and blend it together with the pre-cooked Rice until creamy (remember to add the water before blending).
- proof the Yeast by mixing the Yeast, sugar and water and set aside
- Add the Salt, Sugar and proofed Yeast to the Rice batter and mix together
- Cover up the mixture for about 6 - 8 hours (you can as well leave overnight) - Use a very large bowl for this in order to save you from wasting your Rice and cleaning up your surface because the Rice mixture will rise so high before it collapses.
- Add just a tiny bit of Oil in your Pan or skillet and fry
- Fry both side till golden brown and serve with Honey,Maple, Hot Sauce, Suya........ and ENJOY!
