Ingredients

• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 500 ml Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Extra butter or oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture by combining the ground cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.

Step 6

Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan and quickly tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.

Step 7

Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another minute.

Step 8

Remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a plate. Sprinkle a light coating of cinnamon sugar over the pancake and drizzle with a bit of lemon juice.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes and sprinkling each one with cinnamon sugar and lemon juice as they come off the pan.

Step 10

Serve warm, either rolled up or folded, and enjoy the delightful flavors of a South African bazaar!
