My pastor's wife is Finnish (her parents came from Finland) and this recipe of hers reminded me of the Danish Aebelskivers. Seems like pancakes are a real Scandanavian staple. They could be made in the Aebelskiver pan.

PLäTTAR MED LINGON - SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRIES



Plättar Med Lingon - Swedish Pancakes With Lingonberries image

As one might guess from the name, this very thin pancake hails from Sweden. Swedish Pancakes can be served for breakfast, but Swedes also prepare them for supper accompanied with a bowl of hearty pea soup. Unlike the thicker American "flap jack", the Swedish pancake is more like the French crepe. Rather than syrup, the pancakes are usually garnished with lingonberries, a tart red berry, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. From the Minnesota Scandinavian chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947
