Norwegian Pancakes are light, fluffy, and a great twist on traditional pancakes. Essentially, they are a thick crepe. They are also similar to Dutch Baby pancakes (German Pancakes), but these are cooked on the stovetop.
The recipe starts out similar to a basic crepe recipe, except a little more flour, some vanilla extract, and a little sugar are added to the mix. Use a cast-iron pan for these pancakes. It browns them so nicely and since the pan is naturally nonstick, they become really easy to flip. To make a crepe, you would add a small amount of batter and swirl or spread it to make it as thin as possible. In order to make the pancakes thicker than crepes, just add more batter to the pan.
Try topping these pancakes with the lingonberry jam from Ikea. It provides a great complement to the flavor of the pancakes. You can easily substitute any other jam for this recipe; raspberry and blackberry are excellent substitutes. Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar to top them. You can also roll them with the jam inside.
Ingredients
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup room-temperature water
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup, plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Butter or cooking spray, for the pan
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Berry jam, preferably lingonberry jam, optional, for serving
Steps to Make It
Beat together the whole milk, water, and eggs in a measuring cup until the ingredients are completely combined.
Whisk in the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Place the flour in a separate bowl. Slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, whisking as you incorporate them together. This will ensure a smoother batter. Instead, you can also add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. This will also help prevent lumps. Read More...
