Pork-pancake

The upside of living with an immigrant is that you occasionally get a visit by a mother in law who cooks strange and wonderful food for you.
:-)

When my mum visited a week ago, I asked her to please make us "fläskpannkaka" (pork-pancake?), which she lovingly did.

Swedish Fläskpannkaka:
------------------------------
Egg
Milk
Wheat flour
Salt
Salted pork (sidfläsk)
Butter

Whisk the egg and milk while adding flour. Cut the pork in small cubes, sear them lightly. Butter an oven pan and spread out the pork cubes, pour the pancake mix over.
Bake in a hot oven for 40 minutes, until it's solidified and have turned golden brown on top.
Serve with sugar and jam and a side of shredded carrots.


Norwegian Fläskpannkake:
--------------------------------
Egg
Milk
Wheat flour
Salt
Salted pork
Butter
Potatoes
Turnip (swede! :-D)

Whisk the egg and milk while adding flour, fry thick pancakes in butter in a frying pan. Cut the pork in slices, sear it in a frying pan. Boil the potatoes. Cut the turnip in large slices and boil.
Cut the pancakes in four pieces, serve together on a plate and pour melted butter over it all.


I tell ya. Mouthwatering it is. Healthy it's not. At least not when S' mum cooked it, I tried to not see how big the chunk of butter was that she used to fry each pancake. But it tasted heavenly...

Not quite the same as our own "fläskpannkaka" though, my taste buds were expecting that salt-sweet mixture... :-D
