I’m kicking off the first of my posts from a brief Amsterdam trip last year with this beauty.
Although pancakes (pannenkoeken) are familiar to us in the UK, they are a famous Dutch treat. As such, it seemed vital to sample one in situ, and I decided to go savoury.
I love the way the bacon, peppers and mushrooms were part of the pancake itself, not just plonked on top. The pancake was light but thick enough to have texture.
I am 99% sure I had this pancake at the Negen Straatjes (9 Streets) branch of the prosaically-named Pancakes Amsterdam. Go there and enjoy!
think this might be my all time favourite pancake, as it is Shrove Tuesday tomorrow shall get my self some appropriate bacon and make one. Cheers!
