Classic recipe for pork pancake. Swedish home cooking that is simple and that I remember fondly from childhood. Sometimes called oven pancake or thick pancake.
In this particular recipe I use 140g diced bacon and that is halved compared to what I usually use, but thought to save some money. You can easily double the amount of bacon if you want.
I use what I consider to be the standard recipe for Swedish pancakes (1:1:2 eggs:flour:milk) and it is perfect for oven pancakes. You only need to use a larger amount (4 eggs, 4dl flour and 8dl milk) to fill the entire baking tray.
If you have a long pan made of non-stick material, it is fine to use (you probably need to reduce the amount of ingredients then too), but I use a regular deep baking tray (40x30cm) which I grease with butter.
I also choose to fry the pork in a frying pan separately and then put it in the batter, but a common variant is to fry the pork on the baking tray in the oven first (about 10 minutes) and then pour the batter on. That variant also helps a little with the fact that the batter doesn't stick so easily to the baking tray later and you don't have to clean a frying pan.
There are quite a few variations on oven pancakes. Turkey meat, pieces of sausage, halloumi, ham and much more can be used.
The finished pork pancake will keep for a couple of days in the fridge. Can be frozen.
