CREMPOG

Steps:

• Gently warm the buttermilk in a saucepan.
• Stir in the butter and stir over a low heat until melted.
• Place the flour in a bowl.
• Gradually pour the milk and butter into the flour and beat well.
• Leave the mixture to stand for at least 30 minutes; a few hours would be even better.
• Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
• Add the sugar, baking soda, salt and vinegar to the eggs and mix.
• Pour the egg mixture into the flour one and beat until a smooth batter is formed.
• Grease a frying pan and heat until hot but not smoking.
• Drop the batter, a tablespoon at a time, onto the frying pan, and cook over a moderate heat until golden brown on both sides.
• Keep the pancakes warm until you've used up all the batter.
• Traditionally, you're meant to slather butter on the crempog but you can enjoy it with any type of topping you fancy!

WELSH CREPES (FFROIS)

Steps:

• Put the flour, salt, eggs, and milk in a bowl and beat at medium speed until blended. The mixture will be a thin batter.
• Prepare a non sticking pan of desired size by melting a small amount of oil or shortening to cover the bottom (the fat should be hot). Pour a scant 3 Tablespoons of batter into the pan, tipping it so that it coats the bottom. Sprinkle all over with 1/2 Tablespoon currants. Cook the first side until it is a golden brown. Turn the crepe with a spatula and cook the other side.
• Turn the crepe out onto a large plate, sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice, and roll up.
• Crepes can also be piled up and sliced in portions like a cake. Continue with remaining batter. Keep crepes warm in a 200°F oven. This recipe will make a dozen or more.
