21/02/11: Mormor’s Pandekager (Grandma’s Pancake recipe)
February 21, 2012 by Peter
This post is nothing to do with biotech, life science sales, or my day to day business. It’s just a recipe for pancakes.
As some of you might know, today is Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, in the United Kingdom. Although I am living in Denmark, this is one tradition I still am trying to continue with, especially now I have one daughter and two more on the way…
I’m also posting this recipe because my wife keeps losing it, so I told her that once it was on the internet, it was available for ever. It is her grandmother’s (Mormor’s) recipe for pancakes. Nothing special, but it just works and I hope you try it out:
Enough for 8 people.
500g flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 dessert spoons sugar
1½ L milk
4 eggs
Porridge oats, to taste
Fry in butter
In Danish:
500 gr. mel
1 tsk salt
2 spsk. sukker
1½ L mælk (ca.)
4 æg
Evt. harvegryn
Stejes i smør
That’s it. Available forever, never to be lost!

Oh yes, and according to my Mum, you should start off by adding the eggs to the flour and other dry ingredients, beating them in, then adding the milk slowly while stirring. After the batter is smooth and has bubbles on top, it is ready to use.
The first pancake is always lousy, so you might just want to chuck it. The best way to turn a pancake is actually to toss it. It’s not as hard as you think. Just be brave and go for a short, sharp flip, rather than trying to hit the ceiling.
