Method

Whisk the dry ingredients.
Add the milk and oil and stir just until combined.
Cook ladlefuls in an oiled pan until bubbles appear, then flip.
Serve with honey, fruit, or the Greek favourite: tahini and honey.

Tip. Tahini with honey is the classic Greek Lenten spread.

Fasting customs differ between churches and parishes. When in doubt, follow what your priest gives you. Not sure what today allows? Check the Orthodox calendar.
