South african breakfast ideas

In a country with as many different cultural influences as South Africa, it's hard to define anything as typical, and breakfast is no exception.

South African breakfast

Here's a delicious, foolproof 'Pannekoek' recipe straight from the kitchen of my late and great granny Julia. This precious heirloom must have churned out gazillions of cinnamon sugar pancakes by now. And it's still going strong! It's your quintessential 'church bazaar' pancake batter, designed for the quick and effortless production of soft (never tough!) pancakes that gracefully flip without tearing or sticking. It uses simple, cost-effective ingredients - no milk or butter needed.
