Chef's Note
It was traditional in northern France to grease the pans with a piece of fresh pork rind.
Ingredients
- 250 g (9 oz.) de farine
- 3 eggs
- 60 g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 500 ml (2 cups) blond beer or pale ale
- A pinch of salt
- A little rum
- 80 g (5 tbsp.) butter
- Brown sugar, blackberry jam, red currant jelly, honey, etc.
Method
- Place the flour, eggs, sugar, salt, a little beer and the rum into a bowl; whisk together until very smooth;
- add the remaining beer to make a creamy mixture, as well as a knob of butter, melted, and let rest so the beer ferments the batter slightly.
- In a skillet, heat some butter; pour in a spoonful of the batter to make a pancake just thick enough to be sautéed;
- garnish as desired with honey, red currant jelly, blackberry jam… or just sprinkle with brown sugar.
