Original Maltese Pancakes Recipe.
Every food has its origins, but have you ever wondered if Pancakes are truly American or of Anglo-Saxon origin?
Believe it or not, the recipe originates from Greece, where they were called teganites, referring to the type of pan in which they were prepared, albeit without yeast.
During their passage through Europe, they were enriched with yeast, and with the discovery of America, the recipe spread, eventually becoming the delicious pancakes stuffed with maple syrup, jam, honey, or nuts.
I’ll also show you the procedure with the Bimby.

Preparation of Original Maltese Pancakes

Let’s start the preparation: in a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Make a “well” in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter; mix with a fork or whisk until the mixture is smooth.
If using a Bimby: Place the butter in the bowl and melt for 2 min at 99°F speed 2-
Add: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, the milk, egg; mix for 3 min. speed 4.
Then heat a non-stick griddle or large pan over medium-high heat.
When it is very hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
Wait until bubbles form.
If you want, you can add blueberries or berries to your liking to the batter.
After bubbles have appeared, brown on the other side and serve with butter and blueberry syrup or Nutella.
