  2. Add the 500ml of warm water [110°F ]

  4. Heat a non-stick skillet

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Do not grease the pan. Pour a small ladle of batter into the center without spreading it.

  5. Cook until holes form

    Cook until holes form on the surface and the top is no longer wet. Do not flip the pancake. Remove and place on a clean towel in a single layer to cool.

A little kitchen wisdom

Always cook these pancakes on one side only. The holes form as the batter dries on the top. Traditionally served with a mixture of melted butter and honey.

Make it ahead

The batter is best used fresh, but cooked pancakes can be stored.
