Icelandic Pancakes

    Ingredients

  • 3 ¾ cups (9 dl) flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 6 ⅓ cups (1.5 liters) milk or soy milk
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
  • 90 g butter, melted

    method

  1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add about half of the milk and whisk into a smooth batter.
  2. Mix in the eggs one at a time, whisking well between each addition. Add the remaining milk and finally the melted butter. The batter should be very thin.
  3. You can replace part of the milk in the recipe with water or even cold coffee.
  4. Pour a small amount of batter onto a lightly greased pan and cook until the surface looks mostly dry. Flip the pancake and cook the other side briefly until lightly golden.
  5. In Iceland, pancakes are traditionally made in special pancake pans, and it is common to cook them on two or three pans at the same time.
