Momoo's Norwegian Thin Egg Pancakes, also known as 'Tynne Pannekaker' in Norwegian, are a traditional Norwegian delicacy that is enjoyed as a breakfast or brunch food. These pancakes are light, thin, and crepe-like in texture with a delicate sweetness. They are a well-loved breakfast staple in Norway and are often accompanied by a variety of sweet or savory toppings such as jams, berries, butter, cheese, and smoked salmon. This recipe is inspired by Momoo, who is a Norwegian grandma and a master chef in her own right. She has perfected this recipe over the years and has passed it down to her family to enjoy and cherish for generations to come.

2.	Gradually add the flour to the beaten eggs, while stirring continuously, till the mixture forms a smooth batter without any lumps.

5.	Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
6.	Add butter or margarine to the frying pan for frying.
7.	Pour a ladleful of the batter into the pan and spread it evenly in a thin layer.
8.	Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side, till it turns golden brown.
9.	Repeat the process till all the batter is used up.

PROS

Momoo’s Norwegian Thin Egg Pancakes are light, thin, and delicately flavored with a subtle sweetness.

They are easy to make, require minimal ingredients, and are a perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch menu.

CONS

The high amount of eggs and flour used in the recipe makes the pancakes carb-heavy and not suitable for low-carb or gluten-free diets.

The thinness of the pancakes can make them slightly tricky to handle while cooking.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Despite being carb-heavy, Momoo’s Norwegian Thin Egg Pancakes can provide a nutrient-dense breakfast option as eggs are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
