Ingredients

    Directions

    Step 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

    Step 2

    Let the batter rest for about 20-30 minutes to achieve a better texture.

    Step 3

    Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter for frying.

    Step 4

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the hot pan, swirling it around to cover the base evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown.

    Step 5

    Flip the pannekoek with a spatula and cook for another minute on the other side until lightly browned.

    Step 6

    Remove and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.

    Step 7

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon.

    Step 8

    To serve, sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture on top of each pannekoek and roll them up. Optionally, drizzle with syrup or serve with fruit jam.

    Conclusion

    Tips:Try filling the pannekoek with sliced bananas, strawberries, or Nutella for a delicious variation! Pannekoek can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for later use. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving. Enjoy these delightful South African pancakes anytime!
