Skonsur

Icelandic pancakes

Skonsur are a kind of, well, pencakes, but relatively "compact" and extremely filling. The recipe is enough for at least 10 skonsur, more likely for 12. We sometimes have this at lunchtime when things need to be done quickly and I have to "feed" three to four hungry children.


Ingredients

480 g flour
240 g wholemeal flour
2 Tbsp brown sugar
3 tsp baking powder
300 ml milk
3 eggs


Preparation

In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar and baking powder.

Pour in the milk and mix well.

Finally add the eggs and mix/knead briefly.

Then spoon the thick batter into an ungreased pancake pan, flatten it slightly and fry on both sides in the hot pan.

Then enjoy the skonsur either sweet or savory - I think the version "spread warm with butter and grated cheese on top" and with salad is really tasty and a very nice lunch!
