American Pancakes – Awareness Compassion Pancakes

Your choice of pancakes

Season 1 of my Afternoon Pancakes has ended, and it has been a great pleasure. Which of the four pancake recipes did you prefer?

I asked my great team of Pancake loving friends, when we met to try the Icelandic Pancakes.

This season has offered 4 recipes, and a lot of joy and pleasure. The choice of pancakes are;

We liked all 4 types of pancakes, but ended up with a tie between the American Buttermilk Pancakes and the Icelandic Pancakes as our favorites.

If you have not all ready tried all the recipes you really should. You won´t be disappointed I promise.

I look forward to a summer filled with sun, fun and good pancakes, and can´t wait til Season 2 of Afternoon Pancakes this fall.

Danish Design meets American Buttermilk Pancakes

Afternoon Pancakes #3 combined the great taste of American Buttermilk Pancakes with the aesthetic expression of Royal Danish Porcelain.

As you can see, I had made quite a tall stack of pancakes, trying to follow the good example of Rasmus Klump also known as Rasmus Lump. I grew up with the comic strip of Rasmus Lump, but never got to enjoy a stack of pancakes as tall as his. Yesterday came close.

The pancakes turned out great, and I served them with fresh berries and syrup. The fresh berries gave them a taste of summer.

I found these pancakes to be the best ones yet! But more are still to come.

Wednesday I will travel to Iceland, and maybe find inspiration for another great recipe.

Amerikanske kærnemælkspandekager

Ingredienser

· 375g hvedemel

· 3 spsk sukker

· 1 spsk bagepulver

· 1 1/2 tsk natron

· 3/4 tsk salt

· 700ml kærnemælk

Fremgangsmåde

2. Tilsæt smørret til mælkeblandingen ved konstant omrøring. Hæld denne blanding i kanden og rør, dog kun lige indtil de er blandet sammen. Det er vigtigt, at der ikke piskes for meget.

3. Opvarm en pande eller “griddle” ved lav- til middelvarme.

4. Fold forsigtigt aeggehviderne i dejen.

5. Steg lidt smør på panden, når panden er varm, og hæld lidt dej fra kanden direkte ned på panden,

6. Vend pandekagen, når bobler dannes på overfladen og springer.

7. Bag pandekagen indtil den er gylden på den anden side.

Velbekomme!
