My Lady Tyrca

I am so glad you enjoyed Nordmark, and Visby - it really is beautiful, isn't it. 
I myself come from the west-coast, so the saffron pancake you ask about is not quite as usual here as on Gotland. But anyway I found a recipe in one of my cook-books:
First you have to make rice-porridge:
3 dl water
1/2 tsp salt
1Tsp butter
1 1/2 dl short-grain rice
7dl milk
1-2 Tsp sugar (optional)
Heat the water to a boil with salt and butter, then put in the rice. Boil slowly under lid for about ten minutes, and then pour in the milk. Boil very slowly for 30-40 minutes, not lifting the lid the first 15 minutes. Stir at the end of the 40 minutes.

Saffron Pancake
Mix the porridge with 1/2 gr of saffron, 7 dl milk or milk and cream, 4 eggs, 1/2 dl sugar and 75 gr scalded and chopped almonds. Pour the mixture in a low, ovensafe container, and bake it for 35-40 minutes in 200 C.

Hope this will help : )

I've heard about that cake - it's legendary!

I hope this recipe is good, otherwise I'm sure I can dig up a couple more for you : )
