The Cohen brothers have been producing movies for a very long time now and we wouldn’t want to forget a single one of them. So, let’s go back in time and stop in 1998 in a movie theater. Take a seat. What’s playing? Nothing else than “The Big Lebowski” in all its glory. People of all ages are laughing their butts off, so why shouldn’t we stay here for a while?

This movie is about and identity mix up. Apparently, there are two Jeffrey Lebowski kicking around. A dull mistake isn’t what the Cohen’s offer: in fact, one Jeffrey is an unemployed hippy, known as the Dude, while the other is a millionaire with serious problems on his back. The initial mix up is bond to lead to eventful days and chaotic scenes, dominated by kidnappers, a nympho wife, a toe in an envelope, and a mystery to solve.

When we went back in time I was feeling a little hungry so I couldn’t help noticing the food on the big screen. Lingonberry pancakes: yummy hot pancakes served in a diner to the possible kidnappers. Just the sound of it tastes good. Take a bite with the crazy cast of “The Big Lebowski”!

  • 3 Tablespoons melted butter
  • Additional butter (1 or 2 Tablespoons for frying)
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 dash salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, create lingonberry topping by tossing berries with sugar. Set aside.In a large bowl, combine flour and milk and wisk until smooth. Add eggs, butter and salt and continue to beat until well blended.
  2. Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter. Add 1/4 cup of the batter to the heated pan. Immediately tilt the pan to spread the batter over the entire bottom of the pan. Cook 1 to 2 minutes or until bottom of the pancake is lightly golden. Use a spatula or a fork to flip the pancake over. Cook the other side until golden. Fold the pancake in quarters and keep warm.
  3. Continue to make pancakes with remaining batter.To serve, place 2 pancakes on each plate. Alongside the pancakes, place 2 Tablespoons of the lingonberries in sugar. Serve with whipped cream or sprinkle the pancakes with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.
