Up north of Holland there are a few islands called Waddeneilanden. And Schiermonnikoog is my favourite. When you like to bike long lanes just behind the dunes. And eat good food, this holiday destination might be your next. By accident I tailored this traditional Dutch dish. For the reason I forgot to buy some milk. To make pancakes. Instead I used what was left in the fridge. That was a carton of full fat Yoghurt. Compared to Milk, Yoghurt has a fresh bite. And this freshness is not what you want from a Dutch Pancake. So I compensated the absence of warmth with the addition of Honey and lots of Spices. Like grounded Anise Seed, Cinnamon, and 8 more. The blend is not new. It’s called Dutch Spice Mix. And to buy at special stores. And in future at my new shop.
The good thing that came out of this Yoghurt experiment. Was the fluffiness of each Pancake. And with fluffiness I mean a light and airy substance. That is easy to deal with in the early morning. Before you start a day with a lot of to do’s on your list
