Cream Cheese Pancakes - Oladyi

These are usually eaten for breakfast or teatime.

The texture is a bit different from regular pancakes, oladyi are creamier.

500g cream cheese or yoghurt

1 egg

250g flour

1c. spoon of baking powder

100g sugar

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and spoon small portions on to a hot pan (add some oil or butter before baking if your pan is not a non-stick one).

As soon as tiny bubbles appear on the surface, flip the pancake. It generally takes about a minute and a half for each side to be ready, but it depends on the quality of your pan, the heat of the flame, the thickness of your pancake, etc so you really need to be there the whole time to avoid burning them.

Add a dollop of honey (as in photo), jam, or drizzle with some sweet condensed milk before serving.

Optional ingredients are: cinnamon, lemon zest, vanilla. You can also add some raisins or dice a fresh apple, and add it to the dough before pan frying it.

You can also skip the sugar to make savoury pancakes, and serve them with cream cheese and salmon eggs, or smoked salmon for example.
