Nigerian Pancakes

The recipe for today is Nigerian pancakes and it is similar to crepes in textures and how you want your mixture should be except that it is savory, Nigerian pancakes require onions, pepper which can be adjusted to your preference.

Some people eat Nigerian pancakes with fried stew, some eat it with salad and chicken,  there’s no right or wrong way to eat it. You can also prepare it without pepper. I used fresh milk for but you can use evaporated milk and water for it. Powder milk mixed with water can be substitute for it as well.

  7. Heat about 1-2 teaspoons of oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Scoop about 1/8-¼ of batter (depending on the pan size) tilt the pan around to allow the batter to spread out a little bit and cook for a few seconds to about 1 minute. When you notice the batter has bubbles flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Remove onto a plate, repeat the process until you exhaust the batter.
