Ingredients

  • 150 g flour
  • 350 ml milk
  • 2 pinch salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 kg white asparagus
  • 150 g butter
  • 0.5 lemon (unprocessed)
  • 0.5 tsp Sugar
  • 2 tbsp clarified butter

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Whisk flour with milk and 1 pinch of salt, then fold in the eggs. Let the batter rise for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Meanwhile, peel the asparagus and trim the ends. Bundle each stalk with kitchen twine into four bundles. Boil plenty of water with 1 tbsp butter, half a lemon, sugar, and 1 pinch of salt. Cook the asparagus in this broth for 15 to 20 minutes until firm but still crisp.

  3. 3.

    Heat clarified butter in a pan. Pour in the batter. When the underside is lightly browned, tear the batter into pieces with two forks. Fry until the pieces are golden brown.

  4. 4.

    Drain the asparagus. Melt the remaining butter (about 140 g) in a small saucepan. Plate the asparagus and pancakes together, drizzling the melted butter over them.
