Pancakes with jam for breakfast or brunch

This pancake recipe with jam for breakfast or brunch is perfect for coffee, brunch, or dessert. Take your time and measure the ingredients carefully; when baking, that makes a bigger difference than in many other recipes.

Let the result cool if needed before slicing or serving. That way the texture stays better and the flavor comes through more clearly.

The secret to breakfast

Breakfast like in Norway or Denmark: minimalist, flavorful, and always a feast for the eyes. Pancakes with jam are a classic there, especially when you finish them with a special jam like one from Nicolas Vahé. Refined presentation and flavor come together at your breakfast table.
