Notes
Lummur with Uncooked Oats~ The Norse cookbook notes that "most people don't have cold oat porridge lying around much" these days. As such, the recipe provided uses raw rolled oats in the pancake batter. That's not the traditional preparation, but a modern adaptation to make these in kitchens where leftover oatmeal isn't something you save.
To make lummur with raw oats, combine 1 1/4 cup flour, 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 cup milk, 1 egg and a pinch of salt. Mix into a batter and cook on a pancake griddle.
