Lummur - Icelandic Oatmeal Pancakes#EatTheWorld

These thick oatmeal pancakes are the traditional food served for New Year in Iceland. Celebrated on the Third Thursday in April, it marks the end of winter and the beginning of summer which is observed as a national bank holiday. This breakfast is made from leftover oat porridge. Another best way to use leftover porridge.

These pancakes are, soft, delicious and HEAVENLY! My family absolutely enjoyed them. The combo of the oatmeal, cardamom and raisins, give a wonderful and sweet taste to the pancakes. They are best fresh and still warm but they keep quite well, you can take them with you for tiffin too.

I have enjoyed these pancakes in Iceland for breakfast. We stayed in homestay, so got to enjoy authentic Icelandic food.

Makes 12 pancakes
Ingredients
300 Grams Cooked Oatmeal - cooled
150 Grams All Purpose Flour
2 Teaspoons Sugar
1⁄4 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Baking powder
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Cardamom powder
2 Cups Milk
50 Grams Raisins - optional
Method

Stir flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into the cooked oatmeal.
Add eggs and cardamom powder. Stir in the milk and make a smooth batter. Add raisins and mix well.

Heat a nonstick pan and brush it with butter or desi ghee. Pour a ladle full and make round pancakes. I used my small pancake pan and made all the pancakes the same size.

Fry on hot pan like pancakes. Enjoy with a cube of butter. These are soft and taste good without any syrup.

My Notes

I, have used oats bran, you can use any oats you like. The quantity of milk may vary according to the moisture in the cooked oatmeal. So add milk a little at a time, as you are whisking to make a pancake like batter. I used the stick blender to make a smooth and lump free batter. Although raisins are optional but would suggest adding it since it renders a sweet taste to the pancakes. You do not need any syrup to be added, you can have them just as it is, they taste so good.
