How to Make Lummur

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom. Whisk until just combined.
Gradually stir in 2 cups milk until a thick batter forms. The consistency should be slightly thicker than regular pancake batter.
Stir in ½ cup raisins (optional).
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot surface for each Lummur, forming small, round patties.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings – smoked salmon, cucumber, cheese, whipped cream, strawberries, or jam are all excellent choices!
