Swedish Pancakes


While we were in Seattle, my brother's girlfriend made us her Grandma's homemade recipe for Swedish Pancakes, of course she probably wont give me the original recipe :) For now I found this one. They were really thin and almost rubbery like a tortilla. Jennifer says, "Do not call them crepes, and never use syrup!!"

3 eggs
2 1/2 cups low-fat milk
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with half the milk.

Beat in flour and salt until smooth.

Stir in melted butter and remaining milk.

Heat a griddle or large skillet with a small amount of vegetable oil.

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle and cook over medium heat 1 to 2 minutes.

Turn the pancakes and cook until golden brown, about 1/2 minute. Be careful, they will burn easily.

Keep the pancakes you've already made warm, while you make the rest of your batter.

Serve immediately.

To serve - take your Swedish pancake and smear with butter. Then take your favorite fruit, we used strawberry and raspberry jam. Then sprinkle a little bit of powdered sugar in them and wrap up like a burrito. Enjoy.

Love, LISA
