I'm posting this for ZWT III. I found this gem on Allrecipes.com. It was submitted by in da wings who states: "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

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.

Tips for Making Perfect Norwegian Pancakes

  • Use the right ingredients. Make sure you have all of the ingredients you need before you start cooking, and that they are fresh and of good quality.
  • Follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients, as this could affect the final outcome of your pancakes.
  • Heat your pan properly. The pan should be hot enough to cook the pancakes evenly, but not so hot that they burn.
  • Use enough butter. Butter helps to prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan and gives them a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Flip the pancakes carefully. Use a spatula to gently flip the pancakes when they are cooked on one side. Be careful not to tear the pancakes.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately. Norwegian pancakes are best served hot, so make sure you have everything you need to serve them right away.

Conclusion

Norwegian pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect Norwegian pancakes every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
