Recipe for Homemade Danish Rice Pudding Pancakes (Klatkager)

We are not the people that eat a lot of the traditional Danish rice pudding or Risengrød as we call it but it's a traditional that we make it at every Christmas. Risengrød is a very popular Christmas dish and is often used to make the even more traditional risalamande which is typically served for dessert after the dinner at Christmas eve.

Typically the risengrød is made the 23th of December and served for dinner, then the leftovers are used to make the Risalamande the day after on the 24th and if there still are some extra Risengrød then it can be used to make these rice pudding pancakes or Klatkager as they are called in Danish - so it can be said that these pancakes is like a third level dish.

What is Klatkager?


Klatkager is a kind of a pancake which is based on the Danish rice pudding and then mixed with cane sugar, flour, and eggs. Then they are fried in some butter on a frying pan and served warm with some jam.

They are very easy to make, taste delicious and are perfect as a snack. When we make risengrød for Christmas we always double up the recipe and save some of it to make the risalamande and later these delicious pancakes.

Danish Rice Pudding Pancakes (Klatkager)

10 pancakes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Danish title: Klatkager
Cuisine: Danish

Ingredients:
1/2 serving Danish rice pudding (Risengrød)
2 eggs
1 tsp cane sugar
1 tsp vanilla powder/essence
1 dl (2/5 cup) all-purpose flour
butter for frying

Instructions:
Step 1: Mix the cold Danish rice pudding (Risengrød) with cane sugar, vanilla essence, eggs and flour. Keep mixing until the pudding has a uniform consistency.
Step 2: Leave the pudding in the fridge for about 30 minutes or longer. This way the pudding will become more sticky and it will not fall apart when you fry them.
Step 3: Heat up a frying pan and add a teaspoon of butter. Make the pancakes/klatkager in about two-tablespoons sizes. Use the tablespoon to flatten out the pancakes.
Step 4: Fry the pancakes at medium heat until the top of the pancakes are starting to get solid. Turn over the pancakes and fry them until they are done.

Tip: Serve the pancakes/klatkager with some strawberry and rhubarb jam.

    I've never heard of klatkager before, but they look really good, so I'll be making a double portion of (Danish) rice pudding next time.

    I was wondering, though, if you might have an easy-to-follow recipe for a delicious pastry called tebirkes, which I used to be able to buy from a Danish bakery in Edinburgh.
    If they can be made on the basis of your recipe for Danish pastry, so much the better.

      I don't have the exact recipe for Tebirkes. However, the dough is based on the Danish Pastry Dough recipe I've here on my blog.

      Hi. When you are making Danish rice pudding pancakes you need 1/2 serving of traditional Danish rice pudding. You can find the recipe on my site. I hope it makes sense. Otherwise, to contact me again. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

      Hi Natalie. I'm not sure about your question. But, in this recipe you need 1 decilitre (dl) of flour which is equal to 2/5 cup of flour. I hope this answers your question. Regards Kim (NordicFoodLiving.com)

    Hi, thanks for posting this. I have these store-bought little tubs of rice pudding that I accidentally received from a grocery delivery and thought this would be a good use for them. Each is about 113g. How this amount compare to the 1/2 portion of rice pudding you call for in the recipe? Thanks so much for any advice!

      A rough guess is that your portion is about 1/4 of my rice pudding recipe. Meaning that you should divide all ingredients with two for the rice pudding pancakes. Then it should match your portion of 113 gram.
