My sis chiliad is the solely 1 inwards my identify unit of measurement that tin dismiss brand traditional Samoan pancakes similar my mother. She's mastered the fine art of those unproblematic , tasty treats , an fine art which involves measuring past times oculus , mixing to perfection in addition to frying to a crisp crunchy finish. And it is an fine art , because non everyone tin dismiss brand them.
Especially moi.
Unfortunately chiliad has also inherited my mother's Samoan abilities at explaining a recipe , because when I asked her how to brand them she said over the weep upward , "It's tardily , it's but flour , carbohydrate , water..."
"How almost eggs?" I asked.
"If nosotros receive got them , I seat them inwards ," she replied.
"Do you lot purpose milk?" I asked.
"Sometimes ," she said.
"Anything else?" I pressed.
"No , that's it I intend ," she answered.
So I faithfully tried a dozen dissimilar batters of all dissimilar proportions of flour , carbohydrate in addition to H2O in addition to none came out similar my childhood pancake memories.
Tired in addition to dejected , I fried the final of my unsuccessful batter into a pancake inwards the cast of M's caput , in addition to smooshed it amongst my spatula.
That's what happens when there's solely 1 individual inwards your identify unit of measurement that tin dismiss brand something in addition to you lot larn out it to them to always make it.
So this recipe has hold out filed nether 'inspired'. It's my ain accept on traditional Samoan pancakes because I honestly could non larn the flour/sugar/water affair to work. And because according to my sis chiliad , the goodness , at that spot is no baking pulverization inwards traditional Samoan pancakes. In fact , when I told her almost the baking pulverization , she wrote: 'Are you lot making pagi keke mafolafola (flat pancakes) or pagi keke mamma jamma?'.
Looks similar it is the mamma jamma kind.
M , lamentable almost that pancake I made inwards the cast of your head. But you lot can't imagine how frustrating it is to non hold out able to brand something that solely requires 3 ingredients. If it's whatever consolation , the pancake had a overnice cast , a golden chocolate-brown complexion in addition to was tough - kinda similar you lot , Mamma Jamma.

When you lot run across the stone oil get to shimmer when you lot swirl it closed to the pan thus it's hot plenty for frying the pancakes. If the stone oil is smoking , it's besides hot.
Scoop heaped tablespoonfuls of batter into the frypan. The batter should sizzle when it hits the oil. Fry each side until golden. 
The outset side volition hold out done when bubbles poke through the batter. The minute side volition accept less fourth dimension than the first.

Serve amongst butter in addition to jam , or a classic Samoan mixture of the two. We used to brand this when nosotros had fa'alavelave , in addition to had to cater for scores of people. The all-in-one spread made it easier to churn out plates of crackers , pancakes or thickly sliced white bread.
