In Norway, pancakes are more similar to a crêpe. And this particular pancake/pannekaker is just slightly thicker than normal, enough to embrace the wild blueberries. And when all is said and done, eating your pancake outdoors by the warmth of a fire in the winter really does make breakfast that much more special.
Ingredients:
(Makes about 6 servings)
- 6 eggs
- 1 litre milk (just over 4 cups)
- 300g flour
- 2 Tb sugar
- pinch of salt
- 200g whole almonds (blanched or with skins if you prefer it more rustic)
- 55 g sugar (1/4 cup)
- 1/2 Tb water
- 2 cups wild blueberries (frozen or fresh)
- 3 Tb butter
- Topping: powdered sugar
Directions
-
Whisk eggs together in a large bowl. Add in half of the milk, all of the flour, sugar
and salt. Continue to whisk until blended, then add the rest of the milk. Put aside.
-
In a food processor, generously pulse the almonds, sugar and water until it
resembles a very fine paste. Put in a transferable container.
-
Now the fun part. Pack up your pancake batter & almond paste & blueberries.
Set up your outdoor cooking area and when the coals/wood are hot & ready
(please ensure you take all safety measure when cooking outdoors with fire),
place your pan over them on a rack – not too close to the fire or the pan will be
get too hot and burn the bottom of the pancake. A 47cm (18 1/2in) pan in diameter works well..
-
Place the butter in the pan and once it is melted, pour your batter around the pan
evenly and fast. Sprinkle the almond paste over the batter and top with the wild
blueberries. It is extremely important to maintain an even temperature under the
whole pan and as mentioned before, do not set it to close to the fire. It will get too
hot too fast and you risk burning the pancake as well as undercooking it.
-
Let the pancake cook slowly for 20-30 minutes, checking regularly to ensure
even cooking. No need to mix, flip or anything.
-
When the pancake is finished, cut or tear it into servings and dust the top with a
generous layer of powered sugar.
