Chef's Tips
For a fluffier pancake, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
To make your own Bobotie spice mix, combine: 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, pinch of cayenne pepper.
Add raisins or chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
If you want to make a vegan version, ensure you are using plant based milk and oil instead of butter.
