Nigerian Style Pancake

Nigerian pancake is a sweet and savoury pancake made by adding chopped and/or dried pepper and onions to a basic pancake batter.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon chopped and/or dried pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
• 2 3/4 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup chopped onions, optional
• Oil for coating pan

PROCEDURE

Step 1

Measure out your ingredients.

Step 2

Whisk together the dry ingredients and create a well. Add the milk and eggs and mix until smooth.

Cover and refrigerate batter for 30 minutes or more.

Step 3

Heat up a pan over medium heat and coat with oil. Add the onions to the batter and mix to combine (I added to only half of the batter).

Using a ladle, scoop batter into the heated pan, swirl to coat the entire bottom of the pan and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4

When the top seems dry and the edges start to curl, flip and cook for about 1 minute.

Take out the pancake and repeat process till batter is used up.

Step 5

Enjoy!
