Course: Dessert or Other
Cuisine: International

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Flour (All-Purpose)
  • 4 Eggs
  • 5 cups Water
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Oil
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
    (The secret is to add the Baking Powder last and to mix very well.)
  2. Put a little oil or non-stick cooking spray in a medium-high heat pan.
  3. Add enough of the mix to the pan to cover the entire bottom of the pan with a thin layer.
  4. Bake on one side for about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
  5. Flip the pancake using a spatula (egg-lifter, as we South Africans call it).
  6. Bake on the other side for about the same time.
  7. Remove from the pan. Some people spray a little butter on the pancake.
  8. Sprinkle a little cinnamon-sugar (mix) on the pancake and roll it using a fork.
    You can also use a savory filling instead, if you choose.
