Original Recipe

Dyma'r ffordd yr arferai fy nain wneud crempogau, a chan fy mod wedi dwyn i fyny gyda'r dull, fel hyn 'rwyf yn dal i wneud crempogau hyd heddiw!

Cynhwysion:

300ml o lefrith
2 ŵy
30g o fenyn wedi ei doddi a'i oeri
225g o flawd plaen
pinsiad o halen
diferyn o fenegr
75g o siwgwr
tomen o gwrants

Dull:

Cymysgwch yr halen, y siwgwr a'r blawd mewn powlen. Curwch yr wyau mewn powlen arall cyn ychwanegu'r menyn a'r llefrith. Cynysgwch yn dda cyn ychwanegu diferyn o finegr. Nawr ychwanegwch y gymysgfa ŵy i'r blawd ychydig ar y tro, gan gymysgu'n dda. Curwch y cyfan i wneud cytew llyfn yna irwch badell ar wres uchel gyda ychydig o fenyn. Ychwanegwch hanner cwpaned o'r gymysgfa i wneud crempogyn tenau a gwasgarwch ddyrniad o gwrants am ei ben. Nawr coginiwch am tua 2 funud yr ochor. Pan yn barod trosglwyddwch i bobty i gadw'n gynnes tra rydych yn gorffen gweddill y crempogau.

English Translation

This is the way my grandmother used to make pancakes and as this is the way I saw them made as I grew up this is how I tend to make them to this day!

Ingredients:

300ml milk
2 eggs
30g butter, melted and cooled
225g plain flour
pinch of salt
drop of vinegar
75g sugar
currants

Method:

Combine the salt, sugar and flour in a bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl then add the butter and milk and beat to combine. Mix thoroughly before adding a drop of vinegar. Now add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, a little at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Beat everything together to a smooth batter then grease a pan over high heat with a little butter.

Add about half a cup of the pancake mix and roll the pan to make a thin pancake then scatter a handful of currants over the top. Fry for about 2 minutes per side, or until well browned. Transfer to an oven to keep warm as you finish frying the remainder of the pancakes.
