  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the butter to the pan and, when it foams, pour in all the batter.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Cut into wedges and serve hot with the crisp pork and the lingonberry jam.
