Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and aniseed.
  2. Add the egg and lukewarm milk and mix until you have a smooth, fairly runny batter, slightly thicker than pancake batter.
  3. Cover and leave to rise for 30 minutes somewhere warm, until the batter doubles in volume and is full of bubbles.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly oil it.
  5. Pour in a ladle of batter and cook until small holes appear on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Flip quickly to brown the other side for 1 minute, then place on a clean cloth.
  7. Serve warm with butter and honey or jam.

Variations and tips

Orange version. Add the zest of an orange and a spoonful of orange blossom water to the batter.
