Ingredients · 2 servings

  • 250 gSkyr
  • 80 gFlour
  • 2Egg, beaten
  • 1 ½ tspBaking powder
  • ¼ tspSalt
  • 2 tspSugar
  • 40 mlWater
  • 10 gButter, for cooking

Equipment

stovetop, mixing bowl, whisk, measuring spoon, ladle, spatula, skillet, serving plate

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients

    Gather and measure skyr, flour, eggs, baking powder, salt, sugar, water, and butter, plus a bowl, whisk, ladle, spatula, and skillet. · 5 min

    What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.

  2. Mix Wet Batter

    Whisk eggs, skyr, sugar, salt, and water in the bowl until smooth and thick, scraping the sides so no streaks of skyr remain. · 3 min

    What to look for: The mixture looks glossy, creamy, and evenly blended.

  3. Fold Dry Ingredients

    Fold flour and baking powder into the skyr mixture just until no dry pockets remain; stop before the batter becomes elastic. · 2 min

    What to look for: The batter is thick, slightly lumpy, and free of visible dry flour.

  4. Rest And Heat

    Rest the batter for 5 minutes while heating the skillet over medium heat, then melt a thin layer of butter across the surface. · 5 min

    What to look for: The butter foams lightly and the batter looks a little thicker.

  5. Cook First Side

    Cook 3 small rounds at a time, using about 50 ml batter each, until edges look set and bubbles appear on the surface. · 8 min

    What to look for: The edges are matte, the bottoms are golden, and small bubbles hold their shape.

  6. Flip And Finish

    Flip each pancake and cook until puffed, golden, and springy in the center, adjusting heat if the butter browns too quickly. · 4 min

    What to look for: Both sides are golden and the centers rise slightly.

  7. Serve Warm

    Serve the pancakes warm as a simple stack, letting the tangy skyr flavor and tender crumb shine without extra toppings. · 1 min

    What to look for: The pancakes are stacked while still warm and soft.
