Äggakaka
Traditional south-Swedish pancake dish with pork
Äggakaka (English: egg cake) is a traditional Scanian dish that is similar to kolbullar or oven pancake (ugnspankaka), that is served with fried slices of pork belly and lingon berries. It used to be made for farmworkers as it was easy to wrap up and eat out on the fields.
Preparation
Batter similar to pancakes is used for äggakaka, with more eggs and flour for a creamier consistency. It is fried in butter, sometimes with the fat left over from the pork added.
When the batter has almost solidified the cake is turned upside-down and cooked further.
Serving
Äggakaka is always served with fried smoked pork. The fried pork is sometimes sliced or diced into the batter before cooking the äggakaka. However, this causes the pork flavor to become weak. It is therefore more common to fry the pork separately, and then add it on top the finished äggakaka together with its melted fat.
