It's Heartland Table.
She had me at, "I buy my eggs at the beauty parlor"....and Wednesday is bologna day at the local diner.
Love it.
I'm watching her make Icelandic Pancakes, which are like crepes, filled with a cream made from Greek yogurt and whipped cream and berries.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups milk, plus more as needed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter, for coating the pan
Directions
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cardamom and nutmeg and set aside. In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In alternating turns, add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk to the eggs, whisking until combined; repeat with the remaining flour and milk. Mix in the cream and vanilla. Let the batter sit 30 minutes, refrigerated.
Preheat a crepe pan over medium-high heat. Rub with a stick of butter to lightly coat the pan--the butter should foam but not brown. Swirl up 3 to 4 tablespoons of batter into the pan, tilting the pan to thinly and evenly cover the entire surface. When the edges turn golden (after about 30 seconds), flip the pancake with an offset spatula or pie server, and brown the other side. Flip the pan upside down over a large plate, dropping the pancake onto the plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately, or stack the pancakes with a layer of parchment between each. They can be wrapped tightly in plastic and frozen, or used within 2 days (stored wrapped at room temperature).
