Pannekoeken

I think we can all agree that pannekoeken is the Dutch word for pancakes. Growing up on an island once colonized by the Dutch, I don’t speak the language, but this is at least one delicious legacy I can benefit from.

Unlike American pancakes, pannekoeken are closer to crêpes. They are thin, light, and versatile. With this simple recipe, you can make my favorite pannekoeken, which I think are even better than American pancakes and French crêpes.

Ingredients:

• 200 ml milk
• 100 g flour
• 50 g melted butter
• 1 egg

Instructions:

1. Mix all the ingredients together until smooth.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, then ladle in some batter and swirl to coat the surface.
3. Cook until golden on one side, then flip and cook the other side.
4. Repeat until you’ve made about 8 beautiful, delicious pannekoeken.

Serve with Nutella, molasses, fruit jam, or your favorite spread. Pair it with a hot cup of Earl Grey tea with extra bergamot, perfect for chilly weather. Enjoy!
