Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 4 Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 Bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and position a rack in the middle of the oven.
Dice the bacon into bite-sized pieces and cook in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until smooth.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the batter. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the butter to the skillet with the bacon fat and place the skillet in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes, until the butter is melted and the skillet is hot.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour the batter into the hot skillet. Sprinkle the cooked bacon evenly over the batter.
Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with chopped chives before serving.
Slice and serve warm, either on its own or with a side of lingonberry jam for a traditional Swedish touch.
