Nothing says “weekend” like the smell of homemade pancakes! Some Greeks believe the popular breakfast dish ‘tiganites’ was the first documented pancake in the world. I don’t really know if it was the first, but it surely is the easiest! Make these delicious and fluffy Greek-style pancakes (tiganites) from scratch, in less than 30 minutes with ingredients you already have. Give a Mediterranean twist with a drizzle of warm honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Enjoy!

Pour in a large bowl the water and yeast. Stir with a fork, so that the yeast dissolves completely.
In the same bowl add the rest of the ingredients for the pancakes and whisk to form a smooth batter.
Cover with some plastic wrap and leave aside for 15-20 minutes, until the batter starts to bubble.
Heat a nonstick large skillet or griddle pan over medium heat and pour in enough corn oil to cover the bottom of the pan (approx. 2 tbsps).
Spoon 1-2 tbsps of the batter (depending on how large you want them) in the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry the pancakes in batches (3-4 at a time). Fry until nicely coloured, flipping them occasionally.
Transfer to some kitchen paper, to absorb the oil and repeat with the rest.
Serve while still warm with a drizzle of warm honey and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Enjoy!
