Giant Pancake - Bieszczady Pancakes with Blueberries
Bieszczady and pancakes with blueberries are a must-have combination! Why has this simple seasonal dish become so popular, and even received a national patent and registration as a regional Bieszczady product?
Blueberries and Bilberries in Bieszczady
Bieszczady forests abound in natural blueberry patches. Did you know that many legendary Bieszczady locals came here specifically for berry picking? The opportunity for such earnings attracted people from Silesia, including Lutek Pińczuk, who later built the famous Chatka Puchatka on Wetlinska Polonina and became its most well-known host. For years, Majster Bieda (Władysław Nadopta - the embodiment of the Bieszczady legend of freedom) also lived off berry picking.
Attention! Today, we can only pick blueberries outside the boundaries of the Bieszczady National Park!

Today, you can also have pancakes under the Rawki rocks - lovers of classics will surely appreciate them. Here are two "folded pancakes" filled with blueberries and generously topped with sweet cream:

The patented local product "Giant Pancake with Blueberries" is not just an ordinary folded pancake! This signature dish is made from classic pancake batter, poured in a thin stream until it forms a thick, crispy, and very filling pancake!
You can see it as the main character in the header of our article. You can buy it in both large and medium sizes. The medium size is meant to be eaten by one person - especially after a long mountain hike! It's best to share the large one with a group of friends :)
