- Mix all the ingredients, except oil, to a thick pouring consistency, adding the water a little at a time. Leave to rest for 15-20 minutes. Heat a tbsp oil in a frying pan, then pour it off into a container. Keeping the heat high pour some batter in the center of the pan, spreading it out a little. Lower the heat and let cook till the edges brown a little. Flip it over to cook slightly on the other side and serve hot.
