South African Pancakes, also known as Pannekoek, are a popular breakfast food in South Africa. Made with a batter of flour, milk, and egg, they are a thinner and slightly sweeter version of traditional pancakes.

They can be served with your choice of toppings, making them a versatile breakfast option that can be customized to your liking. Whether you're looking for a quick weekday breakfast or a lazy weekend brunch with friends, South African Pancakes are sure to be a hit.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, water, egg, melted butter, and lemon juice.
3.Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until you have a smooth batter. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
