Funkaso
(Millet Pancakes) Preparation:

Method:

Sift the flour into a bowl and gradually add the water, mixing with a whisk as you go, until you attain a smooth, runny, paste. Set this aside to rest for 4 hours. When this time is up, heat the butter in a frying pan and whilst it's warming beat the batter with a spoon and season with sugar and salt.

When the pan is hot, ladle-in just enough batter to make a saucer-sized pancake and cook until crisp. Turn once, then remove and keep warm. Repeat this process with the other pancakes and serve either as an accompaniment to a main dish or as a snack with honey or chutney.
