Can I use regular yogurt if I can't find skyr?

Yes, Greek yogurt is a good substitute for skyr.

How should I store leftover pancakes?

Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Can the lingonberry sauce be made ahead of time?

Yes, prepare and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

What can I use if I don't have lingonberries?

Cranberries or raspberries make good substitutes for a similar tangy flavor.

How do I reheat the pancakes?

Gently reheat in a non-stick pan over low heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes.

Ingredients

For the Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup skyr (Icelandic yogurt)

1 cup milk

2 large eggs

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp sugar

Pinch of salt

Butter or oil for frying

For the Lingonberry Sauce

1 cup lingonberries (fresh or frozen)

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

1 tsp lemon juice

Preparation

Mixing the Pancake Batter

Combine dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Mix wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the skyr and milk; mix until smooth.

Use the freshest skyr you can find for the best pancake texture.

Combine wet and dry

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined (lumps are okay!).

Making the Lingonberry Sauce

Cook berries

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the lingonberries, sugar, and water.

Thicken sauce

Stir occasionally until the berries burst and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.

Finish sauce

Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let it cool slightly.

Cooking Process

Pancake Frying

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Pour in batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook until golden brown.

Lingonberry Sauce Simmering

Allow the sauce to simmer gently until slightly thickened.

Serve Immediately

For a delightful experience, serve pancakes right after frying with warm lingonberry sauce.
