Instructions

Step 1

Preheat and Prepare the Pancake

Start by preheating your oven to 220 degrees Celsius (about 428 degrees Fahrenheit).

In a mixing bowl, combine 3 eggs, 180 ml of warm milk, and 4 tablespoons of rice flour.

Mix the ingredients well until the batter is smooth. Pour the mixture into a silicone baking form (a 15 cm one works great) and place it in the preheated oven.

Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until it turns golden brown. I prefer making two thin pancakes from this batter so I can wrap the filling inside, but feel free to make one larger pancake if you like.

Step 2

Prepare the Topping

While the pancake is baking, it’s time to prepare the delicious topping.

Finely chop some smoked red fish, cucumber, and dill. Combine these ingredients with about 150 grams of cream cheese in a bowl.

Mix everything together until well combined, creating a flavorful topping that will complement the pancake beautifully.

Step 3

Assemble and Serve

Once the pancake is baked and has cooled down slightly, take it out of the oven.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface of the pancake. For an extra touch, you can add a handful of spinach leaves or sprinkle with sesame seeds.

And there you have it—an incredibly delicious breakfast that is ready to enjoy!

Faq

  • What if my pancakes are not cooking properly?

    If your pancakes aren’t cooking evenly, make sure your oven is preheated adequately. You may also need to adjust the baking time based on the thickness of your pancake.

  • Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time?

    It’s best to make the batter fresh for the best texture, but if needed, store it in the fridge for a few hours. Give it a good stir before baking!

  • How do I achieve the perfect pancake texture?

    For a light pancake, be gentle when mixing the ingredients. It's essential not to over-mix the batter—some lumps are okay!

  • Can I add different fillings to the pancake?

    Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with fillings. Try sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or even cheese alternatives for variety!

  • What’s the best way to serve these pancakes at a gathering?

    Set up a DIY pancake bar with various toppings and fillings so guests can customize their pancakes. It's interactive and super fun!

  • How can I store leftover pancakes?

    Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can reheat them in the oven or toaster for a crispy finish!
