How to Make Swedish Pancakes

This article will explain how to perfect the art of making Swedish thin pancakes

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 10 - 12 inch Frying pan or cast iron skillet or crepe pan if you have one.
• Any type of regular or buttermilk pancake mix
• Water or milk
• Egg
• Spatula
• Canola or vegetable oil
• butter or margarine

1. Mix equal parts of pancake mix with water or milk. Stir in one egg for each cup of mix.

2. Melt down some butter and add the mix to keep the pancakes from sticking. This part is optional, but I generally use 1/4 cup butter for every 2 cups of batter.

3. Add about a tablespoon of oil to your pan and heat on the stove at medium high. Finding the proper range for the heat is often the toughest part of the process, but I have found that in between medium and high is usually the best.

4. Move the oil around the pan by tilting it back and forth - you want to make sure that the pancake is on the oil so it will not stick.

5. Pour about a half cup of batter on to the middle of the pan and turn the pan like you did with the oil to spread the batter out. The mix is thin so it should move around the pan easily. Experiment with how much batter to pour for your particular pan until you get the right size and consistency.

6. These pancakes cook quick so about a minute and flip it! Get a spatula and ease under one size until the spatula gets to about the center of the cake then flip. Once it is flipped it takes 30 seconds to a minute to complete.

   These can be served or filled with anything from syrup to jams to powdered sugar. I usually pour some syrup down the middle then roll the pancake up like a burrito from end to end.

Tips & Warnings

• Experiment with the heat and the consistency of the batter to find the thickness and type of pancake you want. Some people like them more crispy.
• Be careful when handling the hot pan and dealing with the hot oil on the pan. If all you have is a cast iron skillet, make sure to use an oven mit to handle the pan.
