Sense8: Icelandic Pancakes with Skyr recipe
Ever since Sense8 premiered in 2015, my sister has been obsessed with the show. Like many others, we were devastated when we heard it was getting canceled. Thankfully, they announced a few months ago that they will be returning back for a two hour special on Netflix! To celebrate, I’ve decided to make a few recipes we see from the show. I hope you enjoy it!
The seagulls might as well have been speaking Icelandic. The jar of skyr? We even know the fucking farm it came from: Three Sisters.
WHISPERS, SENSE8, SEASON TWO, EPISODE: WHO AM I?
The first recipe of the series are these Icelandic pancakes and skyr yogurt. The pancakes were mentioned in season one and the skyr was mentioned in season two. I have heard of skyr yogurt before but I’ve never had Icelandic pancakes. After some research online, it’s quite similar to crepes and it’s typically served with whipped cream and jam. Fresh berries would also be a wonderful accompaniment to these pancakes. Please enjoy!
