My Norwegian grandmother made this for us as a treat, and it continues to be a favorite my mother makes for my kids. Very easy and versatile. Serve rolled like a crepe with syrup or jam. Can also be a dessert stuffed with a sweetened cream cheese and lingon berry mixture.

NORWEGIAN PANCAKES



Norwegian Pancakes image

These sweet crepe-like pancakes get rolled up into mini jelly roll shapes and are a real hit with children. I serve these often to overnight guests - especially during holiday gatherings. You may use whatever jelly you prefer, we like raspberry or blackberry with seeds the best. The cook time is an approximation of how long I personally take to cook all of the batter - it only takes a few minutes for each crepe.

Time 20m

Yield 18 rolled pancakes, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup granulated sugar or 1 cup caster sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
nonstick cooking spray
butter or margarine, to taste
raspberry jelly, to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk together well the sugar, eggs, salt, milk, and flour in a large bowl until there are almost no lumps.
  • Heat a medium-sized nonstick skillet or a crepe pan (sprayed first with nonstick spray) to medium-low.
  • Pour a THIN layer of batter into the skillet, about 1/4 cup or so- it should be just enough batter to coat the bottom of your pan.
  • Swirl the pan to coat pan evenly with the batter.
  • Carefully but quickly flip the pancake as soon it looks like it has started to very lightly brown and has begun to bubble.
  • Once flipped, the second side only takes a few more seconds to cook- remove quickly to a plate.
  • Immediately spread pancake with a small amount of butter and about 1/2 tsp of jelly or to taste (do not overfill with either or it will get soggy and too sweet).
  • Roll up into a tube, jelly-roll style and serve.
  • Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Note: If possible, assign a helper to spread the butter& jam onto the cooked pancakes as they come out of the pan.
  • You may need to re-whisk the batter between each pancake as it may settle.
  • Also, I sometimes need to add a fresh spray of nonstick spray to the pan between pancakes.

Light and Fluffy Norwegian Pancakes image

This Norwegian pancake recipe gives you soft and fluffy pancakes that will taste delicious topped with powdered sugar and lingonberry jam.

Provided by Leah Maroney

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup water (room temperature)
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup of flour plus 2 tablespoons
3 tablespoons of butter (melted)
1 can butter or cooking spray for greasing
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish: powdered sugar for dusting
Optional: lingonberry jam (or other berry jam)

Steps:

  • Beat together the whole milk, water, and eggs in a measuring cup until the ingredients are completely combined.
  • Whisk in the sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract .
  • Place the flour in a separate bowl. Slowly add the liquid mixture to the dry mixture, whisking as you incorporate them together. This will ensure a smoother batter. Instead, you can also add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. This will also help prevent lumps.
  • Coat your cast-iron skillet with butter or cooking spray. Turn your stove to medium heat so the pancakes will not burn. Place about 1/2 cup of the batter into the center of the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to spread the batter evenly in the pan, or hold the handle (use a pot holder) to swirl the batter , so it completely coats the bottom of the pan. Let the pancake cook for about a minute and then flip with a spatula . Cook for another minute and then remove from the pan. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with lingonberry jam.
