Ingredients
Instructions
- In a blender, whisk eggs with a little milk; add flour and remaining ingredients.
- Whisk again until smooth.
- Melt butter in a 9 x 9-inch or 9 x 13-inch pan in a hot oven.
- Pour the batter into the melted butter in the pan.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 10 minutes at 450°F.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 20 minutes.
- Serve immediately with honey, syrup, peanut butter, strawberries, or your favorite toppings.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter pancake, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form before gently folding them into the batter. You can substitute almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free options. If you don't have butter, coconut oil works well for a different flavor. Experiment with adding vanilla extract or cinnamon for extra depth.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Pankaken immediately for the best texture. They pair beautifully with honey, syrup, or peanut butter. Fresh strawberries or other berries make excellent toppings as well. Consider serving with a side of Greek yogurt for added protein or a light salad to balance the meal, similar to how you might serve dishes like Lynn'S Orange Ambrosia.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Pankaken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster oven or a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 30 seconds, but they may lose some texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Pankaken ahead of time?
While Pankaken is best served fresh, you can prepare the batter in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good whisk before cooking. However, baking them fresh ensures a fluffier texture.
Can I freeze Pankaken?
Yes, you can freeze Pankaken! Allow them to cool completely, then layer them with parchment paper in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster oven or skillet.
What are some variations I can try?
You can easily customize Pankaken by adding ingredients like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter. For a savory twist, consider adding herbs or cheese. These variations can elevate the dish, similar to how different toppings enhance American recipes.
