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.

PLäTTAR (SWEDISH-FINNISH PANCAKES)
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.

SWEDISH PANCAKES WITH LINGONBERRIES

- Heat a griddle and brush it lightly with oil. Pour a thin stream of batter in a circle onto the hot griddle to make a 6-inch pancake. (The pancakes should be very thin.) Cook pancake 20 seconds, flip, and cook another 20 seconds until done.
- Serve immediately, topped with lingonberries and a dollop of sour cream.
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!

Cover with foil and transfer to oven to keep warm and repeat with remaining batter, wiping out skillet in between pancakes with paper towel as needed.
