GRANDMA'S SWEDISH PANCAKES
Here's another old recipe from my husband's Swedish grandmother. These pancakes are nice and thin, much like a crepe. Once you make up the batter, you can make as many pancakes as needed, and you can freeze the rest to use at a later date! Works perfectly. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Beat the eggs until fluffy with a whisk. Add the milk, whisk together.
- 2. Sift the flour and salt together. Add to the milk and eggs. Beat until smooth. Add the melted butter, and beat again.
- 3. In a large non-stick pan, (I use cast iron) melt a bit of butter to coat the bottom of the pan. Get the butter nice and hot, but do not burn.
- 4. Using a 1/2 cup measure, ( you won't use the whole 1/2 cup) pour a very thin layer of batter in the pan, and swirl it around, to coat evenly. Cooking one pancake at a time. Very much like a crepe.
- 5. Cook the pancake until lightly browned. The edges will start to brown. Then flip, and cook second side, until browned.
- 6. Place cooked pancake on a serving plate, cover and keep warm. Continue baking out as many pancakes as needed. Leftover batter freezes well.
- 7. Serve with traditional Lingonberries, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!

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.
