SWEDISH PANCAKES
When we spend the night at my mother-in-law's house, our kids beg her to make these crepe-like, Swedish pancakes for breakfast. They're a little lighter than traditional pancakes, so my family can eat a lot! -Susan Johnson, Lyons, Kansas

TRADITIONAL SWEDISH PANCAKES
This is my Scandinavian grandmother's recipe of the traditional Swedish pancake. These are very thin pancakes, rolled up and served with lingonberries and/or sprinkled with confectioners' sugar. These are also good with lemon juice and maple syrup even!

SWEDISH PANCAKES
Smaller and thinner than their American counterparts, Swedish pancakes are quite tender and comparable in texture to French crepes. If you don't have a Swedish pancake pan, cook the pancakes in a nonstick pan.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine eggs with 1/2 cup milk. Process until completely smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stop the food processor and add flour. Process again until smooth and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining milk, butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt.
- Heat Swedish pancake pan over medium. Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of batter into each circle. Cook until the edges turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a fork, and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes more. (To cook pancakes without a Swedish pancake pan, use a buttered nonstick pan and spoon 1 tablespoon batter per pancake. Pancakes will be less regular in shape.)
- Serve with confectioners' sugar, fresh fruit, and jam as desired.
SCANDINAVIAN PANCAKE
Like a Dutch baby or german pancake baked in the oven in an iron skillet. Topped with fruit and powdered sugar or brown sugar. I found this recipe in the newspaper 25 years ago and make it often, my family loves it. I put it under the broiler to brown on top, this is the best part.

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.

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.

SWEDISH PANCAKES
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.

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.
FLUFFY SWEDISH PANCAKES

REAL SWEDISH PANCAKES (PANNKAKOR)
This is how we make them here in Sweden. My mother always does them this way, and in every other Swedish family I have visited. The other recipes I have seen here have little resemblance with the original. The pancakes should be thin like crêpes. It's also important that the skillet is thoroughly and evenly hot before starting (even then, the first few may not turn out perfect). Mark 4 on a 1-6 hob is good. Note: The recipe is very easy to remember in Metric: 2 eggs times 3 (deciliters) flour equals 6 (deciliters) milk.

Steps:
- Mix eggs, flour and salt.
- Add the milk, a little at the time, and whisk to a smooth batter. The batter will be very thin (almost like for crêpes).
- In a hot skillet (preferably cast-iron), add one teaspoon butter and just as much batter to cover the bottom (turn the skillet around to spread the batter). Fry the pancakes golden brown on both sides. Add more butter for each new pancake.
- Roll or stack them on a serving plate. Keep warm.
- Serve hot, preferably with whipped cream and jam.
- (Leftovers can be reheated or served cold with the same accessories).

SWEDISH POTATO PANCAKES (RAGGMUNK)
I don't know if this is exactly how gramma made her potato pancakes, as I never got the actual recipe. But I remember grating onion for hers so this is a hybrid of my memory and a basic version from Scandinavia.com. I think a major component missing in the online recipe was baking powder. Also, this can be started the night before by grating the potatoes and then covering them with cold water and refrigerating overnight.

Steps:
- Peel, rinse and grate the raw potatoes into a bowl of very cold water. (If you're starting this the night before, cover bowl and refrigerate potatoes in the water til morning.).
- Drain potato shreds in a wire mesh strainer or colander and using your hands, press as much moisture out as possible. Cover with a paper towel and set aside.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and one cup of the milk to make a smooth batter.
- Add the grated onion, eggs and remaining milk, if needed to make a slightly thin batter. Whisk until combined.
- Stir the potato shreds into the batter.
- Heat griddle or large frying pan to about 350°F and rub the griddle with a thin coat of canola oil (I use a paper towel to do this & you may need to reapply between each batch).
- When oil is hot, pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the griddle and cook until golden on the bottom. Flip pancake over and cook until golden on that side.
- Serve with sour cream & chives or lingonberry jam.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your pancakes turn out delicious and flavorful.
- Make sure your butter is cold and diced: This will help to create a light and fluffy texture in your pancakes.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough pancakes. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in more tender pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping them too many times can result in dry, tough pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best enjoyed hot off the griddle.
Conclusion:
Scandinavian pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch option. They can be served with a variety of toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream. These pancakes are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With their light and fluffy texture and slightly tangy flavor, Scandinavian pancakes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
