This isn't a dessert pancake — it's a thick, savory egg custard traditionally eaten with a knife and fork alongside fried pork belly and lingonberries.
Eggs, flour, and milk are whisked into a batter and slow-cooked in a pan until it sets into a thick, custardy pancake, then cut into wedges and served with crispy pork belly and lingonberries. It's a Scanian country classic, served at inns and markets across the province.
Why it's made this way: The dish comes from Skåne's farming tradition, where eggs and pork were plentiful and a hearty egg pancake could feed a whole threshing crew.
