Swedish Pancakes



Swedish Pancakes

6 Tbs. butter
3 eggs
2 C milk
1 C flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp oil
Jam
Powdered Sugar

Melt the butter in a skillet. Turn off heat.
Crack the eggs in a mixing bowl and whisk.
Add 1/2 C of the milk to the eggs and whisk for 2 minutes.
Add the flour to the egg mixture all at once. Use a wooden spoon to beat the mixture until smooth.
Beat in the remaining 1 1/2 C milk. Then add the melted butter, salt, and cinnamon. 
Add the oil to the skillet. Heat up the skillet until it is very hot (be careful not to burn your house down).
Drop about a Tbs of the thin batter into the skillet for each pancake. 
After about 1 minute, the edges of the pancakes will brown lightly. Turn the pancakes. Cook the other side for about 1 minute.
Swedish pancakes should be eaten right away. Scoop a little jam onto the pancakes and roll them up. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Eat with your fingers. Yum!

We have a tradition on General Conference weekend to make a yummy breakfast, something that we don't normally make, and have it ready for the first session. We eat it while we watch. This past Conference, we made these Swedish Pancakes. And they are delicious. They tasted the best with our 3 berry jam (raspberry, blackberry, and wild blueberry). Try it and tell me what you think!

These were SO good! I had a fairly large frying pan and used a bit under an ice cream scoop of batter for each pancake. It worked best when my pan was very hot and I rolled the batter to form a thin coat on the pan to fry. This formed a nice thin, almost crunchy pancake that was out of this world good with homemade strawberry lemon jam rolled up with powdered sugar sprinkled over the top. I attempted to spread a little cream cheese onto a few of the pancakes along with the jam but these were unanimously better without. Also I doubled the recipe because I was unsure that a single would feed the six of us who were home. But five of us ate two of them each leaving us full (and nearly late to church) and we have plenty of batter left for tomorrow I guess! Swedish Pancakes is a new favorite in our house. Thankyou!!!
