Title: Pannekoeken (Dutch Pancakes)
Categories: Main dish
Yield: 1 recipe

500 gr wheat flour
1 l milk
4 medium eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tblsp oil
1 tsp sugar

It can be hand mixed or put in a blender. For a blender, combine all
ingredients and blend. Hand method: Put flour in a bowl, make a
little hole in the middle. Pour in some milk in the hole and start
stirring. gradually pour in all milk, making a smooth batter. mix in
the eggs, one by one, add salt, sugar and oil and mix again until the
batter is smooth and not lumpy. The pancakes should be baked in a
large wide frying pan (a french crepe pan is ok too) preferably in
butter (or oil, if you don’t like cholesterol). The butter should be
very hot. Pour in some batter (about 2 or 3 tabelspoons) and bake.
Turn the pancake when the upper surface is dry and bake the reverse
side for approx. the same amount of time.

You can use anythind you like as a filling, use your imagination.
Savoury pizzatype fillings are nice and can be put on top of the
pancake after it’s baked.

Classic fillings are bacon and syrup pancakes and apple pancakes.
For the baconpancakes you have to fry the bacon first and then pour
over the batter. They are served with dutch syrup, which has a
thicker consistancy than american syrup. Here in Australia they sell
cane molasses, and that tastes almost the same as dutch pancake syrup.

Apple pancakes the same : first bake some fine chunks of apple and
pour over the batter. These pancakes are great with applesyrup, but
I’m not sure that’t available in the States. Normal syrup or sugar
and cinnamon will do as well I reckon.

My favourite is a pancake with bacon and salami and syrup, but I think
that’s an acquired taste.
