Ok, I know that I should have a photograph to show you of these, but I don't. Enjoy this one Jacob took of Miriam and Blue on the hay stack!
So...imagine crepes. This is how these should look. These pancakes are such a comfort food for me. When I was growing up, in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and then in South Africa, we ate these fairly often but especially on Sunday evenings. My parents would cook a big pile of them and serve them with the traditional cinnamon and sugar mixture or a multitude of toppings. They included a browned ground beef and onion mixture, ice cream and fruit, curry etc. So they could be served at any time of the day! My children love to get home from school and find them cold in the fridge to snack on. I love them hot with the cinnamon sugar.
South African Pancakes
(For a smaller batch)
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups water
1 egg
1 tsp Baking Powder
2 Tablespoons oil
(For a bigger batch)
4 cups flour
6 cups water
3 eggs
2 tsp Baking Powder
Salt
1/2 cup oil
Put it in the blender, blend away and you are done.
Oil the frying pan well and, normally, after that first time, you don't need to do it again.
