Coronavirus Quarantine Cooking Diaries: Nigerian Style Pancakes
Nigerian Pancakes Recipe
I remember the first time I had pancakes as a child and often yearn for more as a snack and it was love at first sight. This lock down has made me crave all sorts and then I started missing my sisters pancakes (lol). Why am I calling it ‘Nigerian Pancake’? Because the other type which is Americana is fluffy and I don’t like fluffy pancakes.
Sharing this very Nigerian pancake recipe here if you want to try it out. Video is on Instagram if you want to view it.
Below are the measurements I used and It gave me 4 medium/large sized pancakes but should be able to serve at least 5/6 small sized pancakes.
Here is what you will need:
| Ingredients Oil of your choice Two (2) Eggs 1 cup of milk ¼ cup of Granulated sugar Pinch of salt 2 cups of plain flour 1 teaspoon baking powder (not compulsory) 3 table spoons melted butter Nutmeg (optional) Cooking oil |

Instructions
- In a deep sized bowl, mix the sugar, flour, baking powder and set aside
- In another bowl, mix the eggs, butter and milk together using a whisk preferably
- Pour the wet mix into the bowl with your dry ingredients will smooth. Be sure to check for lumps. If you find the consistency a bit too thick, feel free to add a little water to it
- Heat up a pan and have 1 teaspoon of oil to fry this up
- Depending on how big or small you want your pancakes, pour into the pan from the middle and tilt to fill put the sides and make it light
- Fry for 20 seconds and flip constantly till both sides are brown
- Serve and eat
This recipe is so quick and filling and makes for a yummy breakfast/brunch. How do you like your pancakes? Flat or fluffy?
