Auntie Luci's Panikeke Lapotopoto (Samoan/Tongan Round Pancakes) Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Water
Oil for frying

Steps:

  • Heat up your oil over medium heat, then as soon as it starts to get shimmery, turn the heat down low. If you have anything as fancy as a thermometer in your kitchen, heat the oil to somewhere between 320°F and 356°F (160°C to 180°C). Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the egg and milk, then mix everything up with enough water to form a thick batter like a wet dough. Fry tablespoonfuls in the oil for 3-5 minutes until they're dark golden brown. If your oil is too high, the panikeke will be uncooked on the inside. If your oil is too low you'll have greasy panikeke. So every couple of batches, break one open to make sure it's cooked through.
