Savoury oven pancake with lingonberry jam

This dish was a classic we learned to cook at an early age. As I’ve grown older, I have tweaked the original recipe a little for nostalgic Scandinavian effect.

Growing up in a family with 4 kids and hard - working parents, my mother was a shift working cardiology nurse and there wasn’t always heaps of time to spend cooking.

Ingredients

• 2 fennel bulbs
• 2 red apples
• ½ lemon, juice
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• sea salt, to season
• lingonberry jam, to serve

Batter

• ½ tsp salt
• 4 large eggs
• 800 ml buttermilk
• 105 g plain flour
• 105 g rye flour

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the bacon in a baking dish and roast for 5-10 minutes or until golden.  
2. Meanwhile, for the batter, place all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
3. When the bacon is golden, remove the dish from the oven, pour the batter over the top and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden. Stand for 5 minutes.
