Pönnukökur is an Icelandic pancake, similar to a crepe. They are great for filling with skyr, fruit, or jam, and are high in protein, making them a filling breakfast food!
Ingredients
5eggs
1 ¼cupsflour
1teaspoonsalt
2 ½cupsmilk
Butter, ghee, or coconut oil
2packages Icelandic Provisions skyr
Strawberries, blueberries, or fruit of choice, cut into bite sized pieces
Instructions
Beat the eggs, milk, and salt together in a bowl until frothy. Slowly add the flour, whisking to incorporate until a smooth batter forms. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick or well seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add a little butter to coat the bottom of the pan. Pour in just enough batter to coat the pan (about 1/3 cup if using a 10” skillet) and pick up the pan, tilting it to all sides so that the batter evenly coats the bottom of the pan in a thin layer.
Once the pancake has set and the bottom is golden brown (30 seconds to a minute), use a spatula or knife to carefully flip the pancake. Cook the other side for an additional 30 seconds to brown, then tilt the pancake out of the pan and onto a plate.
Repeat, using more butter as needed, with the remaining batter.
To serve, spread a heaping spoonful of Icelandic Provisions skyr on one half of the pancake and sprinkle in some fresh fruit. Fold the pancake in half over the filling, and then in half again. Enjoy!
