Pönnukökur (Icelandic Pancakes)

Much closer to delicate French crêpes than American pancakes, pönnukökur are traditionally cooked in a seasoned pan and served with sugar or jam and cream.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour and 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt
• 2 eggs and 2.25 cups milk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 cup melted butter
• Optional: 1 tbsp brewed coffee for colour and depth

Preparation

• Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
• Whisk in half the milk until lump-free, then add eggs, vanilla, and remaining milk.
• Whisk in melted butter and coffee if using.
• Heat a lightly greased skillet; pour a thin layer and swirl to coat.
• Cook ~1 minute, flip, cook 30 seconds more. Serve rolled with sugar or with jam and cream.
