Preparation

1. 1.
   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. 2.
   Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. 3.
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the eggs and milk, and whisk until smooth.
4. 4.
   Grease a 9-inch (23cm) round baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Pour the pancake batter into the dish.
5. 5.
   Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the batter.
6. 6.
   Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown.
7. 7.
   While the pancake is baking, prepare the lingonberry sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the lingonberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
8. 8.
   Serve the Fläskpannkaka warm, cut into wedges, and drizzle with the lingonberry sauce.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Bacon — For a crispier texture, you can partially cook the bacon before adding it to the pancake batter. This will ensure it becomes perfectly crispy during baking.

Tips & Tricks

• For a twist, you can add a sprinkle of grated cheese on top of the pancake batter before baking.
• Serve the Fläskpannkaka with a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess.
• If lingonberries are not available, you can substitute them with cranberries or red currants for a similar tart flavor.
• Leftover Fläskpannkaka can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
• Experiment with different herbs and spices, such as thyme or black pepper, to add extra flavor to the pancake batter.

Serving advice

Serve the Fläskpannkaka warm, cut into wedges, and drizzle with the lingonberry sauce. It pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables on the side.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, garnish the Fläskpannkaka with a sprig of fresh parsley or a sprinkle of chopped chives. The vibrant lingonberry sauce adds a pop of color to the dish.
