Holiday pancakes

In the deep Westfjords of Iceland, the sun is often not visible for weeks in winter. The first day on which the sun shines through the window again at the end of January is celebrated happily and appropriately - a real event for the entire town.

Particularly airy, thin pancakes made from finely ground wheat flour are served with this "Sólarkaffi" - as well as plenty of other cakes.


Ingredients

1 Tbsp butter
300 g wheat flour
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 eggs
500 ml milk
grated vanilla


Preparation


In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar, baking powder and salt, add half of the milk and stir everything in to form a smooth dough.

Add the eggs and mix well too.

Then add the vanilla and the remaining milk.

Melt the butter and finally stir it into the dough.

Heat the pancake pan, grease it and pour the batter into it with a ladle and swirl the pan so that the batter can spread evenly and thinly in the pan.

Cook on both sides until the pancakes are appetizingly browned.

Then spread with sugar or jam and roll up.

Allow the rolled pancakes to cool and serve at the festive coffee table.
