Don’t be afraid, making danish pancakes are super easy and requires no special ingredients.

In less than 20 minutes you’ll have a lovely big stack of thin, danish pancakes you can roll with everything. Try add a little bit of ice cream, chocolate, jam or just roll up and eat plain with sprinkled sugar.

Well, welcome to Oh Happy Dane, and welcome to my suggestion for what I believe is true “hygge”: the family favorite, Danish Pancakes!

Pancakes have always been the epitome of “hygge” at our home and we like to make them diligently for every occasion! They look and taste very much like the french crepes.

We enjoy them for breakfast on weekends, for dessert after dinner, for birthdays, for picnics – or just for the sake of “hygge”.

We can always find a good excuse for making a batch of pancakes.

When you are working with this recipe you just need to double the recipe for as many pancakes you need.

DANISH PANCAKES

You can advantageously replace up to 1/3 of the milk with coffee or even beer. Those substitutes will make the pancakes more crispy.

The pancake dough can be made in advance and placed in the refrigerator until needed (max. leave for 24 hours)

Instructions:

To begin with you heat up a pan and add a tablespoon of butter.

Let the butter melt slowly.

The first pancake you make always fails – and to much delight of the one who can not wait to taste. So don’t worry about that. Its simply just because the pan often is not hot enough.

Then you place a blob of the batter on the pan with the melted butter.

Now you tilt and swivel the pan so the entire pan is covered with a thin layer of dough.

When the dough is stiffened/baked on the surface (about 2-3 min.) and light brown at the edges, you flip it over with a spatula.

Bake the pancake for additional 1/2-1 min. on the other side.

In the end you just repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat until the family can not wait any longer.
