Documented recipe

Dutch Pannenkoeken

Thin, flexible pancakes, slightly thicker than crêpes, made with flour, milk, eggs, and salt. Servings and times are estimates: 4 servings, 10 minutes of preparation, 35 minutes of cooking, and 30 minutes of resting.

Pannenkoeken can be served sweet or savoury. This basic version lets everyone choose their own toppings; the batter rests before cooking in a non-stick pan.
