Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the maize flour, sugar and salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in the lukewarm water to get a smooth, lump-free batter.
  3. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the flour can absorb the liquid.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with oil.
  5. Pour in a small ladleful of batter and spread it into a round, then cook for 2 minutes until the edges lift.
  6. Flip the pancake and cook for another minute, then serve warm, with honey if you like.

Variations and tips

Lemon pancake. Add the zest of one lemon to the batter for a fresher flavour.
