Thick, golden corn flour pancakes fried in butter, a historic Liechtensteiner staple made from the principality's most important traditional grain.

Ingredients

  • 200g fine cornmeal
  • 200ml milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter for frying
  • Applesauce for serving
  • Lingonberry jam for serving

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine cornmeal, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and let batter rest ten minutes.
  2. 2 Heat a generous knob of butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it begins to foam.
  3. 3 Pour batter to form thick pancakes about twelve centimeters across. Cook for four minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
  4. 4 Flip carefully and cook another three minutes until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
  5. 5 Keep warm in a low oven while cooking remaining pancakes, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
  6. 6 Serve stacked with applesauce and lingonberry jam on the side for a traditional Liechtensteiner meal.
