Bring the vibrant flavors of South Africa to your kitchen with these delicious South African Bazaar Pancakes! These thin, crêpe-like pancakes are infused with the warmth of cinnamon and the refreshing zing of fresh lemon juice, making them the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The batter, made from pantry staples like all-purpose flour, milk, and eggs, creates golden, lacy pancakes that are quick to whip up for breakfast, dessert, or a special treat. Each pancake is sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and a drizzle of lemon juice, delivering a flavor reminiscent of treats found in bustling South African markets. Serve them warm, rolled or folded, and enjoy a dish that combines simplicity with a burst of unforgettable flavor. Perfect for gatherings or weekend indulgences, these pancakes are a delightful nod to South African culinary tradition.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes while you prepare the cinnamon sugar mixture by combining the ground cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.
Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan and quickly tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter evenly into a thin layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges lift slightly and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another minute.
Remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a plate. Sprinkle a light coating of cinnamon sugar over the pancake and drizzle with a bit of lemon juice.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes and sprinkling each one with cinnamon sugar and lemon juice as they come off the pan.
Serve warm, either rolled up or folded, and enjoy the delightful flavors of a South African bazaar!
