Bickbeerpfannkuchen (Bilberry pancakes)
Bilberry pancakes
Ingredients for 4 portions:
- 250 g (8.8 oz) flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 T sugar
- 1/2 liter milk
- 250 g (8.8 oz) fresh bilberries or blueberries (Heidelbeeren, Blaubeeren), can be replaced with frozen berries
- about 2 T butter
- powdered sugar for topping
Preparation time: about45 minutes
Per portion: 520 calories
Directions:
- Place the flour in a bowl, create a cavity in the center. Separate the eggs. Add the egg yolks with a pinch of salt and the sugar to the depression in the flour, and mix with some of the flour. Little by little, add the milk, stirring until a smooth, lump-free batter is achieved. Beat the 3 egg whites to stiff peaks, gently fold into the batter.
- Wash and sort the bilberries, drain and dry the berries well.
- Melt a little butter in a pan. Add a ladle of batter to the pan and rotate the pan so an even, thin layer of batter is formed. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of bilberries over the pancake. Brown the bottom, then flip the pancake over and cook the other side.
- Remove the pancake from the pan and cover to keep warm, or serve immediately. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. One after another, keep making pancakes until all the batter and berries are used.
