Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Add the egg and lukewarm milk, then mix until you have a smooth batter.
  2. Cover and leave to rest for 1 hour at room temperature, until the batter has doubled in size and shows bubbles on the surface.
  3. Add the baking powder and melted butter, then mix briefly.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, cover it and pour in a ladleful of batter. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until small holes appear on the surface and the base is golden.
  5. Remove the lid, brush the top with butter and spread condensed milk, peanuts and cinnamon over one half.
  6. Fold the pancake in half over the filling and cook for another minute. Cut into portions and serve warm.

Variations and tips

Chocolate version. Replace half the condensed milk with melted dark chocolate and add chocolate shavings.

Using what's easy to find. Dried yeast can be replaced with an extra 1 tsp of baking powder.
