Skånsk Äggakaka med Stekt Fläsk
Scanian Egg Cake with Fried Pork Belly
A traditional Scanian dish, Äggakaka is a thick, savory pancake-like dish made primarily from eggs, flour, and milk, cooked until golden and served with crispy fried pork belly (or bacon) and lingonberries. It's a hearty and satisfying meal, often referred to as 'housewife's rescue' for its simplicity and quick preparation.
🧂 Ainekset
- 500 g Pork belly(rimmat sidfläsk, sliced)
- 8 large Eggs
- 4.5 dl All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tbsp Salt
- 8 dl Milk
- 1 tbsp Butter(for frying)
- Lingonberries(rårörda (raw stirred), for serving)
👨🍳 Ohjeet
- 1
Slice the pork belly into small pieces. Fry in a dry skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the pork belly and set aside, reserving the rendered fat in the pan.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The rendered fat adds a wonderful flavor to the egg cake batter. - 2
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth.
- 3
Gradually whisk in the milk until you have a smooth batter. Stir in a tablespoon or two of the reserved pork fat.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: The batter should be pourable but not too thin. - 4
Add a knob of butter to the skillet (with the reserved fat) over medium-high heat. Pour in the batter.
- 5
Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring the solidifying batter towards the center of the pan continuously. This helps to cook the egg cake evenly and create a thick, fluffy texture.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Keep the heat at medium-high to ensure a good crust without burning. - 6
Once the egg cake has mostly solidified, place a large plate or a lid over the skillet and carefully flip the egg cake onto it. Slide the egg cake back into the skillet, uncooked side down.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit: Be cautious when flipping to avoid breaking the egg cake. - 7
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and cooked through.
- 8
Serve the Skånsk Äggakaka immediately, topped with the crispy fried pork belly and a generous spoonful of raw stirred lingonberries.
💡 Ammattilaisvinkit
- ✓If you prefer a vegetarian option, omit the pork belly and use butter or oil for frying, and serve with sautéed mushrooms or a green salad.
- ✓Some recipes add a pinch of black pepper to the batter.
- ✓The key to a good Äggakaka is the constant stirring to create a fluffy, evenly cooked texture.
