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.
