Recipe of the week - Easy-to-make Pancakes.

For many South Africans, pancakes evoke a certain kind of nostalgia. People make pancakes because they're delicious, crowd-pleasing and easy to make. Clover Mama Africa is here to help with an easy-to-make delicious pancake recipe. Everybody loves a good pancake. A shared pancake breakfast is up everyone’s alley because who can resist the smell of warm cinnamon sugar pancakes.

The recipe is available in the Clover SA Food Favourites cookbook, which is filled with great, wholesome and truly South African recipes that will provide you with an omni-sensorial experience. The recipe book has in part been subsidized by Clover because we believe that good food and great memories shouldn’t be limited by price. Also, by purchasing the cookbook, you will be actively helping ladies around South Africa achieve their business dreams through the Clover Mama Afrika project. The project aims to identify women who are already agents of change in their communities and helps train them to become self-sustaining women with skills which then they can use to derive income from, in order to support orphaned and abused children and the elderly and infirm.
