Method

-
- Combine Flour, Salt and Sugar in a mixing bowl. Add Milk, Egg and melted Butter, and use a whisk to mix well until smooth and well combined.
- Heat a frying pan, non-stick preferred, over medium heat, lightly oil the pan, ladle the batter, and form a thin pancake in the size of your choice, using the bottom of the ladle to spread the batter if required.
- Cook until bubbles appeared on the surface, flip it over, and cook the other side. Serve with your favourite fillings and toppings. *Note: Today I wrapped Cottage Cheese and Blueberries, and served with Blueberry Sauce.
- *Note: ‘Mlyntsi’ can be made with Plain Flour without Baking Powder.
