TRADITIONAL SWEDISH PANCAKES

Steps:
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla and salt in a blender; process until smooth.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Warm the same skillet over medium heat until a drop of water bounces and sizzles. Add 1 teaspoon butter; turn to coat the pan with the melted butter. Pour in a scant 1/3 cup batter and quickly swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until the pancake sets, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, carefully lift the pancake by the edges and flip; cook until lightly golden on the other side, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate; keep warm in the oven while making the others. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter to make about 12 pancakes. If the pancakes seem too thick, thin the batter slightly with warm water. Fold or roll and serve with confectioners' sugar, syrup and fresh fruit.

SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRY BUTTER
Delicate, buttery, tangy, delicious... are just a few adjectives that describes these Swedish Pancake/crepes from Cook's Country Magazine (October 2010). The secret lies in using instant flour and club soda. Lingonberries are the authentic jam to use for this recipe, and they have become more readily available in supermarkets. I loved this recipe, as they reminded me of the Swedish pancakes that I had at an International House of Pancakes, years ago. You can serve these with plain jam, but I decided to add the jam to whipped butter which gave these extra richness-- with a few extra calories. Once in a while, just live it up!

Tips for Perfect Pancakes with Lingonberries:
- Use fresh lingonberries if possible, as they have a brighter flavor than frozen or canned berries.
- If you don't have lingonberries, you can substitute another tart berry, such as cranberries or blueberries.
- Make sure your butter is cold and cut into small pieces before adding it to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn before they are cooked through.
- Serve the pancakes hot with lingonberry jam, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Conclusion:
Pancakes with lingonberries are a delicious and classic Swedish dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The combination of tart lingonberries and sweet pancakes is a perfect balance of flavors. So next time you are looking for a new pancake recipe, give this Swedish classic a try!
