Swedish Pancakes

These are a childhood favorite of Q's and now we make them for our kids. They LOVE these... even better than the American pancakes. They are similar to crepes. I love to experiment with different fruits and toppings but we for sure always serve them with lemon and powdered sugar. I like to mix it together in a little bowl and drizzle it over the pancakes. Sometimes I make a strawberry puree to serve with them or a cherry syrup. The best part is that you can just be creative with whatever you have on hand. YUM.
Ingredients and Directions:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
beat well with an electric mixer
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
combine and beat into above until smooth
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
stir into above. batter should be thin and smooth.

heat large skillet with a small amount of vegetable oil over medium to medium high heat. pour about 1/3 cup batter into the hot skillet and swirl it around so it spreads out to cover the bottom of the pan. cook for 1-2 minutes and flip. cook for an additional 30 seconds or so. They should be very thin.

Serve with berries and sweetened fresh lemon juice. Dust with powdered sugar.
