Pancakes!

Mardi Gras and lent are nearly upon us, and being just a tinytiny bit excited about this we got an early start on pancakes. As a person who have grown up considering pancakes to be food, I still have trouble accepting the British (and lots of other places as well apparently) notion that they are dessert. Even though I like jam and butter on top of my pancakes, I would argue it is the more sweet toppings such as chocolate and syrup that makes them bit 'desserty'. In any case, they can be made more savoury by adding, e.g,  cheese, ham, bacon, or spinach in the batter. A completely acceptable, and yummy, lunch in my opinion (and since there are people who consider crisps and a drink to be lunch - I feel  pancakes are a way better choice, and more filling anyway)  

Plain pancakes:

• 2½ dl wheat flour (half can be replaced with rye for an even healthier option)
• ½ tsp of salt
• 6 dl (600 ml) of milk
• 3 eggs
• Butter

Mix the flour and salt, then adding half of the milk and stir until smooth. Add the rest of the milk and the eggs - as well as any additional ingredients such as blueberries, cheese, spinach etc. If you have the time leave it standing for a while. The butter could be melted and added to the batter, though I prefer just to use a bit of it while frying the pancakes.

      Serve warm!

Enjoy!
