Recipe by: cinnken

These pancakes are passed down from my grandmother, who was Scandinavian. They are light and fluffy, and great with berry syrups. I have made these for years as a special treat, and I hope you enjoy them as much as my family has.

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 15 mins
1.
Preheat and lightly grease a large frying pan.
2.
Mix the flour, salt and bicarb together in a bowl. Add the egg, buttermilk and butter; stir together lightly, but keep it lumpy. The batter should look thick, spongy and puffy.
3.
Drop 5 tablespoons (75ml) of the batter onto the pan, spreading lightly with the bottom of the spoon. Cook until lightly-browned on each side, 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Waaaay too salty. We weren't even able to eat them. This should be edited in the recipe, IMO. And this may have been my fault, but they weren't fluffy and delicious at all, they turned out very flabby.

I agree with previous reviewer. Way too salty. A teaspoon of salt? Really? Maldon sea salt is maybe what the writer meant. But table salt, probably quarter of a tsp. A shame. My wee family were looking forward to these. They spat them out.

Followed recipe to the letter and sorry I did. The pancakes were light and fluffy and delicious at first bite until the taste of salt hit and that's all that remained. WAY too much salt. I should've read the reviews before following recipe and followed Enchilada's suggestion of 1/2 tsp at most. I had to throw the lot away as nobody could eat this.

Lovely recipe. The batter is thick so the first two were a bit stodgy in the middle as I had the griddle too hot. The last two were sublime with maple syrup.

So easy to make. The pancakes were light and fluffy. My first ones were too large as they spread on the griddle more than I expected. I used a 284ml carton of buttermilk that I had frozen.

I have just made these and they worked brilliantly. I added sliced banana to some when they were in the pan (so they cook when you turn them over)which added a nice twist.

Didn't have quite enough buttermilk so topped it up with milk, which was fine. Delicious EXCEPT far too much salt - would use 1/2 tsp at most next time. Great with golden syrup and whipped cream.

Batter was a bit difficult to work with, but the pancakes were pretty yummy! I topped them with bacon and maple syrup!
