Ingredients - Enough for 3 people.

How to make it

  1. Mix the eggs, milk, flour and salt in a big bowl to form a smooth batter.
  2. Let is rest for 15 minutes at room temperature. In the meantime you can slice the sausage into small pieces and fry them in a pan. Drain off the excess fat on a paper towel.
  3. Heat a large pan at medium-low and add a bit of butter.
  4. Use a ladle to put the batter into the pan. One spoon full, or until the whole bottom is covered should be enough.
  5. Bake on one side for 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the top has solidified before flipping. Here you can try to flip the pancake just by moving the pan, alternatively you can use a spatula to do it.
  6. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until this side is also nice and brown. Set aside on a wire rack.
  7. This pancake goes really well with some jam, nutella or peanutbutter.
  8. For a savoury one. Right after flipping it to the second side, add two slices of American cheese or provolonge and add some of the cooked sauge and fold the pancake in half. Cook on side before flipping again. Serve this one with some chopped parsley for decoration.
  9. Repeat the previous steps until all pancake batter is used up. This recipe should yield about 7 or 8.
  10. Enjoy!
