Pannekoken Throughout Scandinavia, by Max

Apple Pannekoken created in Sonderborg, Denmark

Pannekoken is a dish that I learned to make in New York. It is like a very eggy pancake, also it is much thicker than the regular pancake. You can modify it for breakfast, dinner, lunch, lots of things.

Here is the recipe to serve 4:
4 eggs
¾ cup flour
¾ cup milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter

0.      Preheat oven to 4000 F (1840 C).
1.      Melt the butter.
2.      Whisk the eggs.
3.      Put the eggs and everything in a pot to stir.
4.      Butter a pan.
5.      Put the mixture (now in pan) into oven for 18 min.
6.      Eat.

P.S. I usually put nutmeg and cinnamon on top of it. I also sometimes put in apple or smoked fish. Also, eat with breakfast:

a.      Brown sugar
b.      Cinnamon sugar
c.       Syrup
d.     Jelly

The Scandinavia part means that I’m making it in every country we go to. So far that means:

ü  Iceland
ü  Denmark
ü  Sweden*

  1. Max, I've eaten the pannekoken that you made for us in DC for breakfast, and I can testify that your
    pannenkoek (Dutch/Belgian pancake; or pannekoek, plural being pannekoeken) is worthy of being eaten in every country you can find the ingredients, and makes a splendid culinary ambassador. You and your pannekoken rock!
