Now, let's get started with the recipe!


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of wheat flour

  • 2 teaspoons of sugar

  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup of milk

  • 1/4 cup of oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

  • Butter or oil for cooking

Equipment:

  • Mixing bowl

  • Whisk or fork

  • Non-stick skillet or griddle

  • Spatula

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk to combine.

  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the milk and oil and whisk to combine.

  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a little more milk.

  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil to the pan.

  5. Using a ladle, pour the batter onto the skillet or griddle, making small circles. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to dry and the bottom is golden brown.

  6. Flip the Dan Wake over with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

  7. Remove the Dan Wake from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter.
