Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
2
Crack in the egg, then add the milk and water. Mix until you have a smooth, slightly thick batter.
3
Cover the bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the yeast to activate and the batter to rise slightly.
4
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
5
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet to form small, thick pancakes.
6
Cook the tiganites for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Then, using a spatula, flip and cook for another minute.
7
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
8
Serve the tiganites drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. Optionally, add nuts or fresh fruit.
