Skonsur

Description

Skonsur - Thick pancakes-pan-fried bread

The word "skonsa" (the singular form of "skonsur") is the same word as "scone" in English. We Icelanders use the word to refer to a kind of thick pancake. The taste is similar to American breakfast pancakes, but we serve them differently.

Serve them cold with any kind of topping that is good with bread: cheese, slices of meat, salads, etc. or make a sandwich-cake: make a mayonnaise/sour cream-based salad (shrimp, tuna, egg, salmon, etc.), and layer with whole pancakes.
