EASY SWEDISH PANCAKES
This recipe is so delicious and easy to make. I come from a really Swedish town - Rockford, Illinois - where Swedish pancakes are a favorite for Sunday morning breakfast. My Dad used to make these for us at home for a special treat. Serve with butter and maple syrup, or lingonberries if you've got them.

Steps:
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla and salt in a blender; process until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Warm the same skillet over medium heat until a drop of water bounces and sizzles. Add 1 teaspoon butter; turn to coat the pan with the melted butter. Pour in a scant 1/3 cup batter and quickly swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until the pancake sets, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, carefully lift the pancake by the edges and flip; cook until lightly golden on the other side, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate; keep warm in the oven while making the others. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter to make about 12 pancakes. If the pancakes seem too thick, thin the batter slightly with warm water. Fold or roll and serve with confectioners' sugar, syrup and fresh fruit.

SWEDISH PANCAKES (PANNKAKOR)
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a blender , combine the flour, salt, milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Combine on high speed until completely incorporated and a thin batter has formed.
- Let the pancake batter sit and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Whisk in the seltzer and heat up your cast iron or non-stick pan to medium-high heat.
- Add a little bit of the butter to the pan and spread it around with a silicone or pastry brush to completely coat the pan. Turn the heat down to medium heat.
- Add enough batter to coat the bottom of the pan completely and swirl it around to completely coat. (The pancakes are very thin so don't pour in too much batter or it will make the pancakes thicker in texture.)
- Cook for about one minute and then carefully flip with a soft spatula. You can also flip using the pan and a quick handle movement.
- Cook for another 20 seconds on the second side. Remove from the pan and stack on a plate. You can stack the pancakes on top of each other as they cook. Add a little more butter to the pan before cooking each pancake.
- Add the strawberry jam to a pan and whisk in the water. Heat the jam until it's hot and slightly thinned.
- Fold the pancakes into triangles and top with the jam and whipped cream. You can also sprinkle powdered sugar on them if you wish.
- Serve and enjoy!

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.

REAL SWEDISH PANCAKES (PANNKAKOR)
This is how we make them here in Sweden. My mother always does them this way, and in every other Swedish family I have visited. The other recipes I have seen here have little resemblance with the original. The pancakes should be thin like crêpes. It's also important that the skillet is thoroughly and evenly hot before starting (even then, the first few may not turn out perfect). Mark 4 on a 1-6 hob is good. Note: The recipe is very easy to remember in Metric: 2 eggs times 3 (deciliters) flour equals 6 (deciliters) milk.

Steps:
- Mix eggs, flour and salt.
- Add the milk, a little at the time, and whisk to a smooth batter. The batter will be very thin (almost like for crêpes).
- In a hot skillet (preferably cast-iron), add one teaspoon butter and just as much batter to cover the bottom (turn the skillet around to spread the batter). Fry the pancakes golden brown on both sides. Add more butter for each new pancake.
- Roll or stack them on a serving plate. Keep warm.
- Serve hot, preferably with whipped cream and jam.
- (Leftovers can be reheated or served cold with the same accessories).
