- 2 largeeggs
- 125 mlmilk
- 75 gall-purpose flour
- 1 pinchsalt(to taste)
For the Pancakes
- 1 tbspvegetable oil
For the Soup
- 1 Lbeef broth
- 2 tbspfresh chives(finely chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
First, prepare the pancake batter. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes.
Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan, tilting to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter until all pancakes are cooked. Stack the finished pancakes on a plate.
Once cooled slightly, roll the pancakes tightly and slice them into thin strips (about 0.2 inches or 0.5 cm wide). These are your 'Flädle'.
In a separate pot, heat the beef broth until it's simmering gently. Do not boil vigorously.
To serve, place a handful of the pancake strips into individual soup bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the pancake strips.
Garnish generously with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately. Enjoy your comforting Swabian Pancake Soup!
