Wicklow Pancake

Wicklow pancake is a traditional dish originating from County Wicklow. Despite the name, it's more of an omelet or frittata than a pancake, and it's usually made with a combination of eggs, milk, heavy cream, breadcrumbs, scallions, parsley, thyme, butter, salt, and pepper.


Everything except the butter is mixed together, and the mixture is then cooked in butter over medium-low heat in a skillet. Once the bottom becomes brown, the skillet is placed in the oven and the dish is baked until slightly puffy and the top browns.


Wicklow pancake is garnished with parsley leaves, cut into wedges, and served with a dab of butter on top of each wedge. It's believed that the dish was first made in the early 20th century.
