It’s getting cold down here in the southern hemisphere, and that means one thing: comfort food; and what better comfort food is there than some good, old hearty ribs and pancakes the way we make them in South Africa.
BBQ Ribs
Ingredients
- 1kg (2.2 lbs) pork spareribs
- ½ cup of brown sugar
- ½ cup of ketchup
- ½ cup of soy sauce
- 2 crushed cloves of garlic

- Salt and pepper to taste
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking tin (approx 30cmx20cm/12”x8”)
- Baking/parchment paper
- Tin/aluminum foil
Method
- Mix all the ingredients (except the ribs) together in a bowl.
- Pour the marinade over the ribs, cover and refrigerate for a few hours (or just do it overnight)
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Line a baking tin with baking/parchment paper.
- Put the ribs into the baking tin and pour over the marinade.
- Cover with tin/aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours
- Remove the foil and bake for a further 30 minutes or until the meat starts falling off the bones.
Afrikaans Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup of self-raising flour (or 1 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder)
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cinnamon powder
Equipment
- Stove top/hob
Method
- Add the salt to the flour and mix through the milk a bit at a time to avoid clumps
- Beat the eggs well and whisk it in to the batter
- Heat up a frypan and add onto it only enough of the batter to cover the bottom of the pan
- Cook until golden brown on the bottom, flip the pancake, and repeat on the other side
- Mix together the sugar and cinnamon
- Sprinkle on some cinnamon-sugar onto the pancake, and roll up the pancake and it’s ready to serve
