Enjoy an indulgent breakfast with delicious Nigerian pancake. It is great with both sweet and savoury toppings.
Ingredients
- ½ Onion small
- 1 Scotch bonnet pepper
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 3 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Melted Butter
- 2 Eggs
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and chop the onions very thinly. Remove the stalk from the scotch bonnet pepper and chop thinly too.
- Add the plain flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon into a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon or whisk.
- Pour melted butter into a separate mixing bowl. Break the eggs into this bowl and add the milk. Whisk thoroughly until bubbles start to form.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl containing the wet ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth, with a slightly runny consistency.
- Place a non-stick frying pan on the hob under medium heat. Add a teaspoon of oil to the pan.
- Pour the minced onion and peppers into the pan and stir with a spatula for a few minutes. Remove from the pan when the onion starts to brown. Allow to cool, then pour into the batter.
- Wash the pan and place back on the hob. Dip a brush or kitchen paper in a little oil to lightly grease the base.
- Scoop the batter into the pan and swirl to spread evenly. When the edge of the pancake starts to brown, and you can see bubbles on the surfaces, gently lift with a spatula to flip and allow the other side to brown lightly too.
- Repeat this process until the remaining pancake batter is used up.
