How to make perfect Nigerian PANCAKE

Ingredients
– 190 gr Plain Flour
– 2 raw Eggs
– 200ml whole milk OR evaporated milk OR 3tablesponful powdered milk in water
– 2 tablespoonful Butter/margarine (melted) or vegetable oil
– 4 tablespoonful Sugar(more or less)
– Chilli pepper or Scotch bonnet(atarodo) (to taste)
– 1 tablespoonful Onions (minced)(to taste)
– 1/4 teaspoon Salt
– A pinch of Nutmeg(optional)
– 1-2 tablespoonful vegetable oil (for greasing the pan)

* If you’re using evaporated milk, you can dilute with water or use it as it is(very rich)

*If using powdered milk, dissolve in 180 to 200ml water. Depending on how thick or thin you want your pancake to turn out.

*To mince the onion, you can pound it OR grate whole onions with the small sides of the grater or blend until smooth in a dry mill/blender

* Baking powder is not necessary in Nigerian pancake but if you want to add it for more fluff, then go ahead and add 1 teaspoonful of baking powder.

Preparation
* Break the eggs into a wide bowl, add the melted butter and sugar; Cream(mix) together using a whisk or wooden spatula.

* Add the minced onions, pepper, salt, nutmeg and the milk. Whisk Thoroughly.

* Gradually add the flour and keep on whisking. The mixture would begin to thicken and look lumpy.

* Add more milk or water if the pancake batter is too thick and continue stirring until the pancake batter is smooth with a runny consistency.

tip: you can use a blender to get a smoother consistency or simply leave it in the bowl for 10 minutes for the flour to soak up the liquid and soften up.

Tip: The lighter you make the batter, the thinner the pancakes will turn out.

* Place a little oil on a pan (preferable a non-stick pan), spread the oil with a brush to grease the whole surface and heat up until hot.

* Using a ladle(soup spoon), scoop up some of the pancake batter and pour into the hot pan.
Gently tilt the pan, so that the batter can evenly coat the surface of the pan.

* Cook one side of the pancake for a few seconds, then flip over and cook the other side.
Tip : if you are in a hurry , use an electric whisk or pour all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

Repeat this process for the remaining pancake batter. Serve and Enjoy!
