Dedicated pancake restaurants, known as 'Pannenkoekenhuizen,' are common throughout the Netherlands. These restaurants often feature extensive menus with dozens of different pannenkoeken options and are popular destinations for families and tourists.
Special Occasions
While an everyday food, pannenkoeken can also be prepared for special occasions, with creative toppings and presentations adding a touch of festivity.
Pannenkoeken offer a delightful range of flavors, from sweet to savory, reflecting the versatility of this beloved Dutch dish.
Sweet pannenkoeken often feature toppings like stroop (Dutch syrup), powdered sugar, fruit (apples, berries), chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and speculaas spices. Savory options include cheese, ham, bacon, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and even Surinamese flavors like chicken and spices. The batter itself is mildly flavored, acting as a blank canvas for a multitude of possibilities.
Batter Consistency
The batter should be smooth and slightly thinner than American pancake batter. Allow the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking to allow the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender pancake.
Cooking Temperature
Use medium heat and a well-greased pan. The pancake should cook evenly without burning. Flip when the edges start to set and bubbles appear on the surface.
Even Distribution
Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan and swirl it around to coat the entire surface evenly. This ensures a thin and uniform pancake.
