Skeppshult Cast Iron Scotch Pancake Pan 23cm

Skeppshult’s cast iron scotch pancake pan helps you achieve light, fluffy pancakes that are uniform in size. Scotch pancakes (also known as drop scones) are traditionally cooked on a griddle over an open fire – with Skeppshult’s pan, you can achieve the same result. 

This pan measures 23cm in diameter and has space for seven pancakes. Simply drop a spoonful of batter into each hole, wait for bubbles to appear on the surface, then gently flip. 

The 5mm-thick bottom ensures even heat distribution, giving you a golden stack of pancakes every time. Plus, the beech wood handle makes it safe to carry the pan from hob to table.

Swedish company Skeppshult (pronounced ‘hep-salt’) has been making cast iron products by hand since 1906. The process starts with raw iron, which is heated to a searing 1,500°C in a furnace. Then the molten metal is cast into special moulds made from sand, which can withstand the extreme temperatures.

Sand moulds can only be used once, and therefore each product is unique – no two items are the same. Each sand mould is recycled and used for another product. Skeppshult seasons its cast iron with rapeseed oil (also called canola oil) from Österlen to protect it from damage. This also gives the cast iron its natural non-stick properties.

Skeppshult’s cast iron is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic-coated aluminium pans.
