For the best results, use a high-quality, heavy-bottomed glass baking dish to ensure even heat distribution. If using frozen berries, there's no need to thaw them before adding to the pancake. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the berries. The Aeggekage is best served immediately, as it tends to deflate as it cools. However, if you must store leftovers, refrigerate them in an airtight container and reheat gently in a warm oven. Experiment with different types of berries or add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a unique twist.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. (2 minutes)
02
StepGradually whisk in the flour until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are fine. Allow the batter to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender pancake. (30 minutes)
03
StepPreheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). (10 minutes)
04
StepPlace the butter in a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Set the dish into the preheated oven until the butter is completely melted. Once melted, carefully remove the hot dish from the oven and brush the melted butter evenly over the bottom and sides of the dish. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the rested batter into the hot, buttered baking dish. (1 minute)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up, golden brown, and set. (15 minutes)
07
StepRemove the Aeggekage from the oven. Sprinkle evenly with fresh lemon juice, then top generously with mixed berries. Dust with confectioners' sugar. (3 minutes)
08
StepServe immediately with a generous dollop of freshly whipped cream.
