Blepandekager: Danish Apple Pancakes



Blepandekager are a traditional Danish pancake that is made with apples, sugar, and spices. They are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or dessert that is perfect for a cold winter day.

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.

  4. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

  5. Repeat steps 3-4 with the remaining batter.

  6. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, maple syrup, or fruit.

Tips and Tricks:

  • For a crispier pancake, cook it for a few minutes longer per side.

  • For a sweeter pancake, add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the batter.

  • For a more flavorful pancake, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.

Here are some additional tips and tricks for making the best blepandekager:

  • Use a good quality all-purpose flour. The quality of your flour will make a big difference in the taste of your pancakes.

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.

  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn. If the heat is too low, the pancakes will be soggy.

  • Serve the pancakes warm. Blepandekager are best enjoyed fresh and warm.

With these tips, you'll be making delicious blepandekager that everyone will love!

Blepandekager are a traditional Danish pancake that has been enjoyed for centuries. The first blepandekager were made with rye flour, but today they are most commonly made with all-purpose flour. Blepandekager are often served with applesauce, whipped cream, or maple syrup.

I first had blepandekager when I was visiting Denmark with my family. I was immediately hooked by their delicious flavor and their light and fluffy texture. I've been making blepandekager ever since, and they are now a staple in my breakfast rotation.
