Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Nonstick large skillet or griddle pan

Ingredients
  

For the pancakes

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 cups lukewarm water

To serve

  • 1/2 cup honey warm
  • walnuts chopped

Instructions
 

  • Pour in a large bowl the water and yeast. Stir with a fork, so that the yeast dissolves completely.
  • In the same bowl add the rest of the ingredients for the pancakes and whisk to form a smooth batter.
  • Cover with some plastic wrap and leave aside for 15-20 minutes, until the batter starts to bubble.
  • Heat a nonstick large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat and pour in enough corn oil to cover the bottom of the pan (approx. 2 tbsps).
  • Spoon 1-2 tbsps of the batter (depending on how large you want them) in the hot oil. Don't overcrowd the pan; fry the pancakes in batches (3-4 at a time). Fry until nicely coloured, flipping them occasionally.
  • Transfer to some kitchen paper, to absorb the oil and repeat with the rest.
  • Serve while still warm with a drizzle of warm honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Enjoy!
