- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (339 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 37 g Flour, all-purpose
- 150 g Milk, whole
- 60 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 1 g Salt
- 60 g Pork belly (sidfläsk), raw
- 6 g Butter, unsalted
- 25 g Lingonberry jam (or cranberry sauce)
Method
- Whisk the flour with half the milk to a smooth paste, then whisk in the rest of the milk, the eggs and the salt to a thin batter. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut the pork belly into slices about 5 mm thick and fry them in a heavy frying pan over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning, until crisp and golden. Keep them warm and pour off all but a spoonful of the fat.
- Add the butter to the pan and, when it foams, pour in all the batter.
- Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes, without stirring, until the underside is golden and the top has almost set.
- Slide the pancake onto a plate, turn it back into the pan upside down and cook for 5-6 minutes more, until golden on both sides and set all through.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot with the crisp pork and the lingonberry jam.
