Swedish Pancakes image

These are very thin and crepe like but are heavier. They have a very smooth texture. I've read that these may not be authentic Swedish pancakes but the recipe was passed down to my great Grandmother Helen from my Swedish great great Grandmother Maria. It is over 100 years old...possibly 150 or more! Some of my Swedish relatives started the famous Svenhards bakery here in California. They no longer own it but their original packages have my great great Aunt Tilda's (Maria's sister) photo on them! There are similar recipes on Zaar but none with these proportions. My family eats them with maple syrup with melted butter in it and boysenberry syrup drizzled over that and then sprinkled with powdered sugar. You can also eat them with fresh fruit or jam. Servings are an estimate...some people eat 3...or some like me can eat 10! *My Grandmother makes these with up to 5 eggs sometimes and does add a pinch or two of salt.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt, my Grandmother's addition (optional)
3 eggs (Sometimes my Grandmother uses up to 5 eggs)
1/2 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Mix everything in a blender.
  • **You make these like a crepe but cook both sides. I'm not very good at it so my directions may not be right on -- I'm writing this from past observation -- I use a crepe maker and only cook one side.**.
  • Fill a large pot halfway with water and set to simmer. Place a heat proof plate on top of the pot -- You can stack the pancakes on it to keep them warm as you're making more.
  • Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease it lightly with butter.
  • Pour a small amount of batter (tablespoon or 2) in the center of the skillet and tilt it in a circular pattern so that it coats the whole bottom in a very thin layer, like a crepe.
  • Cook it until solid and flip it over. It should be lightly browned on each side. Stack them on the warmed plate.
  • To serve them you fold them into thirds and put toppings over them. Or you can fill them like a crepe.
  • I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! I wish I had the knack for making them.

I thought these pancakes were just okay. They were a little too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I was really disappointed with these pancakes. They were dry and tasteless, and they didn't rise very well.

These pancakes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would definitely make them again, but I would use less sugar next time.

These pancakes were a disaster! They were so thick and doughy, and they didn't cook evenly. I ended up throwing them away.

These pancakes were a hit with my family! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet flavor. I served them with fresh berries and whipped cream, and they were gone in no time.
