Traditional South African pancakes are served with cinnamon sugar and  usually, a cup of tea or coffee. We think they work well with a glass of bubbly too - especially if you do a savoury interpretation.

Serve with your choice of sweet or savoury. Cinnamon sugar is the traditional sweet, but you can drizzle honey or even fill them with caramel. For a light meal you can fill them with savoury mince or creamy chicken. For a touch of luxury, top your pancake with crème fraiche, trout caviar, fresh dill and cracked pepper, squeeze a little lemon juice and serve it with a delicious glass of our Culinaria MCC.
