SWEDISH PANCAKES The recipe that most represents my family, especially my mother's side of the family, is Swedish pancakes. I don't even really care for regular pancakes and when I try to make them, they do not come out well. What Swedish pancakes remind me of is visits from family or with family. Whenever we went to visit aunts and uncles on my mother's side, pancakes would definitely be one meal. They each made them slightly differently and served different things with them. When I was growing up, we always had our pancakes with butter and sugar rolled inside them. That's still pretty typical at any aunt's house. However, as my kids got older, we tried and added more things, like peanut butter or syrup or powdered sugar. I am sure this was a meal for poor people so adding all these things was probably not possible. In case you don't know, Swedish pancakes are like crepes. They are made very thin and one pancake fills the whole frying pan. Karla and I will have them from time to time when she comes to visit. Half the recipe I have is more than enough for two people. The recipe I have is this: 3 eggs 1 ½ T. sugar 3 ¼ cups milk 1 ½ t. salt 2 c. flour 3 t. baking powder Beat eggs. Add 2 cups milk, add dry ingredients. Beat well. Add rest of milk A tip for cooking these is to have a hot and slightly greased frying pan. Add about a ¼ to 1/3 cup of batter and tilt frying pan to spread batter over the whole frying pan. When bubbles appear it is time to turn the pancake. The first couple may not turn easily, but once turned they need very little time to cook. They fill a whole plate. We eat them rolled up with the condiments I mentioned before. I really love them and they have such fond memories for me. --Carolyn
