About the dish

"Raamelk" is colostrum – the thick first milk from a newly calved cow. Such colostrum dishes were common on the farms and give a particularly rich, egg-like pancake. From Erken's "Stor kokebok" (1914).

How to make it

  1. 1

    Stir the batter

    Stir as much wheat flour as possible into the colostrum, then thin out with the fresh strained milk to a smooth, thick batter. Add the finely cut chives.

  2. 2

    Pre-fry the bacon

    Fry the bacon slices a little in the pan. If the bacon is very salty, boil the slices out in water first.

  3. 3

    Pour over the batter

    Pour the batter over the bacon in the pan and let it set a little on the stovetop.

  4. 4

    Bake in the oven

    Put the pan into the oven and bake the pancake light golden brown. Serve at once.

Changes from the original

The quantity of wheat flour is estimated, since the original only says "as much flour as one can get in." Colostrum can today be replaced with heavy cream mixed with a couple of egg yolks. Measurements are given in deciliters.

Frequently asked questions

What is colostrum from the first milking, and can I use something else?
Colostrum (first milk) is the thick milk a cow gives right after calving; "the first milking" is the very first milking. It gives the pancake binding power almost like eggs. Without colostrum this is not the same dish – the recipe relies on the colostrum setting in the oven.
How do I make the batter?
Stir in as much wheat flour as the colostrum (1/4 l) can take up, then thin out with 1/2 l fresh strained milk and mix in the finely cut chives.
How is the bacon handled?
Fry the bacon slices a little in the pan first. If the bacon is very salty, boil it out in water before frying. Then pour the batter over the bacon.
How is the pancake finished?
Let the batter set a little on the stovetop, then put the pan into the oven and bake it light golden brown. Serve at once. Count on around 50 minutes in total for 6 servings.
