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.

NORWEGIAN PANCAKES



Norwegian Pancakes image

These Norwegian pancakes are fantastic! They are crepe-like but the batter has more eggs than traditional crepes. That makes them more pliable to work with and easy to roll when cooked. Lightly sweet, these pancakes are heavenly served with powdered sugar and syrup. Great for brunch and weekend breakfasts.

Provided by Sylvia Carroll

Categories     Pancakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 c butter, melted
8 eggs
1 1.2 c milk
1 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cardamom

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in skillet. Set aside while you mix remaining ingredients.
  • 2. In an electric mixer (or blender), combine eggs, milk, flour, sugar and mix until smooth.
  • 3. Add cardamom.
  • 4. Last, add melted butter. The batter should be thin.
  • 5. Using a ladle, put a spoonful of batter into a warm skillet sprayed with non-stick spray.
  • 6. Lift skillet and 'roll' around to spread the batter so that it covers the bottom of pan.
  • 7. When top loses its sheen flip the pancake. It takes some practice to do this without having it wrinkle or turn under on itself.
  • 8. The second side cooks quicker than the first one. Pancakes should be a golden color as in photo.
  • 9. Stack pancakes on stoneware plate as they cook and they will stay warm until all are done.
  • 10. Serve with your desired filling. We either sprinkle lightly with sugar, or add a thin layer of syrup, or softened cream cheese. Roll up.

Tips:
