Beat the eggs together then whisk
in the buttermilk.
In a separate mixing bowl, mix together
the flour, baking soda, sugar and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture
into the egg and buttermilk and mix well.
Put the mixture through a sieve
to remove any lumps. The batter should be dense
but liquid.
Heat a flat bottomed pan and melt
a little butter or oil to prevent sticking. Slowly
pour 5-6 small rounds into the pan. Cook until
bubbles start to form on the top of the uncooked
side. Flip and cook on the other side until golden,
approximately 2 minutes per side.
Put in a tea towel to keep warm
until ready to serve.
Serving Oladi are great on their own
or with a sweet topping, like jam or honey.
For a special treat top with sour cream and caviar.
About this Recipe: The buttermilk gives these
Oladi a 'bite' and makes them great with sour cream
and savoury toppings.
They are my daughter's favourite
for breakfast, lunch and snacks.
