AUTHENTIC SWEDISH PANCAKES
This is an authentic Swedish pancake recipe that was taught to my father by his mother, who was born in Sweden. My father then passed it to me. Kids love them. Never any leftovers when I make them. To serve, you can spoon melted butter over pancakes and sprinkle with sugar, or serve with lingonberry sauce. You can also use the batter to make crepes.

SIMPLE SWEDISH PANCAKES
I grew up in Little Sweden, USA, and my great-grandparents on my Mom's side were all from Sweden. This is the recipe I grew up with (I added the nutmeg as I like nutmeg). I love these and make them for family brunches all the time. They even taste good as leftovers, as pancakes again, or with peanut butter instead. We serve these with just syrup and butter, but many use lingonberries, or other fruit or jams.

SWEDISH PANCAKES
These are very thin and crepe like but are heavier. They have a very smooth texture. I've read that these may not be authentic Swedish pancakes but the recipe was passed down to my great Grandmother Helen from my Swedish great great Grandmother Maria. It is over 100 years old...possibly 150 or more! Some of my Swedish relatives started the famous Svenhards bakery here in California. They no longer own it but their original packages have my great great Aunt Tilda's (Maria's sister) photo on them! There are similar recipes on Zaar but none with these proportions. My family eats them with maple syrup with melted butter in it and boysenberry syrup drizzled over that and then sprinkled with powdered sugar. You can also eat them with fresh fruit or jam. Servings are an estimate...some people eat 3...or some like me can eat 10! *My Grandmother makes these with up to 5 eggs sometimes and does add a pinch or two of salt.

Steps:
- Mix everything in a blender.
- **You make these like a crepe but cook both sides. I'm not very good at it so my directions may not be right on -- I'm writing this from past observation -- I use a crepe maker and only cook one side.**.
- Fill a large pot halfway with water and set to simmer. Place a heat proof plate on top of the pot -- You can stack the pancakes on it to keep them warm as you're making more.
- Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease it lightly with butter.
- Pour a small amount of batter (tablespoon or 2) in the center of the skillet and tilt it in a circular pattern so that it coats the whole bottom in a very thin layer, like a crepe.
- Cook it until solid and flip it over. It should be lightly browned on each side. Stack them on the warmed plate.
- To serve them you fold them into thirds and put toppings over them. Or you can fill them like a crepe.
- I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I wish I had the knack for making them.

Steps:
- Place the flour in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking until relatively smooth. Add the eggs and salt; mix until smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Set a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot, melt a teaspoon of butter in the pan and spread it with a spatula.
- Pour 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of batter in a circle in the middle of the hot buttered pan, then quickly pick up the pan, tilting and rotating to spread the batter into as thin a circle as possible. I use 1/2 cup of batter in my 12-inch nonstick skillet.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges and top look dry (some say that when the surface looks like a slice of cheese that's been out too long, that's when it's ready to flip!)
- Flip the pancake over and cook just until set and pale to lightly golden brown on the other side, about 30 more seconds.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Serve with butter (or vegan buttery spread), jam, nut butter, and/or fresh fruit. For a special treat for our daughter, we sprinkle a thin layer of mini chocolate chips over the pancake, let them melt, spread them with a butter knife, and roll up the pancake to serve. Finish each serving with a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
SWEDISH PANCAKES
Smaller and thinner than their American counterparts, Swedish pancakes are quite tender and comparable in texture to French crepes. If you don't have a Swedish pancake pan, cook the pancakes in a nonstick pan.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine eggs with 1/2 cup milk. Process until completely smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop the food processor and add flour. Process again until smooth and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining milk, butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt.
- Heat Swedish pancake pan over medium. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each circle. Cook until the edges turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a fork, and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes more. (To cook pancakes without a Swedish pancake pan, use a buttered nonstick pan and spoon 1 tablespoon batter per pancake. Pancakes will be less regular in shape.)
- Serve with confectioners' sugar, fresh fruit, and jam as desired.
Tips:
- Use the right ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and that they are fresh. Use high-quality flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, eggs, milk, and butter.
- Mix the batter properly: Follow the recipe's instructions carefully when mixing the batter. Over-mixing can result in tough pancakes, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning and ensure that they cook evenly throughout.
- Flip the pancakes only once: When the edges of the pancake start to curl up and bubbles form on the surface, it's time to flip it. Flipping the pancake too often can result in it breaking.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Swedish pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. Top them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Swedish pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them simple or loaded with your favorite ingredients, Swedish pancakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying breakfast, give Swedish pancakes a try!
