Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (40 g) cricket powder
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Icing sugar (optional for decoration)
- Fresh berries (optional for decoration)
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine all your dry ingredients until they are mixed well. Make a valley in the centre of the bowl for the milk, egg and melted butter, and mix well until your batter is smooth.
- On medium high heat, warm your frying pan or griddle, lightly oiled or buttered. Use a ¼ cup measuring scoop to pour the batter into the pan or griddle. Serve immediately once both sides are lightly browned to perfection.
- Top with fresh berries, or lightly dusted icing sugar
