Happy Pancake Day!

Serendipity is posting a pancake recipe on pancake day! Excitement. Anyway, Valentines is around the corner and I figured this year I might as well share love themed breakfast recipes to cook for your loved ones.

To make it even more exciting, you can cut out the pancakes into hearts.

For the pancakes you’ll need:

In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients.

In a small bowl, crack in the eggs, add  the vanilla essence then lightly beat with a fork.

Make a well in the dry ingredients mixture, add the eggs and the maziwa mala.

Whisk to combine.

Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.

Heat some oil in a pan and pour in the batter.I use a cup to ensure they are generally the same size.

Once bubbles form flip the pancakes.

Repeat until the batter is over.

Serve and enjoy.

Drizzle over your favourite pancake syrup and devour them!
