Crempog — Print Recipe — The Culinary Codex

Thick, fluffy buttermilk pancakes stacked high and spread with butter between each layer, a beloved Welsh teatime treat.

Ingredients

1 Sift flour into a bowl with sugar and salt. Make a well in the centre.
2 Beat the egg with buttermilk and melted butter. Pour into the well and whisk to a thick, smooth batter.
3 Heat a bakestone or heavy frying pan over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter.
4 Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the hot surface. Cook for 2-3 min until bubbles appear and the base is golden.
5 Flip and cook for another 2 min until golden on both sides.
6 Stack the pancakes, spreading butter between each layer. Serve warm with jam or honey.
