This is for the Scandinavian Portion of the World Tour. This is from the cooking show New Scandinavian Cooking.

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey, plus more for serving
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted, plus butter for cooking

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Add the eggs, milk, and sugar, whisk until you have a light batter; make sure there are no lumps. Stir in the melted butter. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. 2
    Heat 2 teaspoons butter over medium heat in a cast-iron or other heavy skillet. Add 1/3 cup of the batter and immediately tilt the skillet so that the batter spreads out evenly.
  3. 3
    Cook for approximately 3 minutes, until the batter has set on top, then flip, using a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Repeat, stacking the cooked pancakes, until you have used all the batter.
  4. 4
    Serve the pancakes warm with berries and sugar, or cheese and ham.

My grandparents are from Norway, and I grew up calling these "Grandma pancakes." They are wonderful with butter and sugar!

    Well let's not talk about the first two I made. LOL I got the hang of making these on the third one and by the last one I was turning them out almost like the pros. These are more tender then your normal American pancake. I used a 12 inch skillet so I needed more then 1/3 cup of batter. Don't forget to use a THIN spatula, that really helps. Jessica, I could have ate them right out of the pan without anything on them. But I put some jelly on top. Our kids loved these also. I made these for ZWT III game 2007 - Scandinavian Region.

    Wonderful flavor (I upped the sugar to 1.5T and would probably increase it to 2T ... but this was to eat them plain). I think the key is make sure that you do NOT use a pan bigger than 8" — a crepe pan would be best — or they'll be too thin, and you'll have a hard time flipping. Even with 8", you may need more than 1/3 cup batter. My 2 year old loved these; I'll make them again.

    I too wish NOT to talk about my first two attempts!! But the third was the charm. I have not made this type of pancake before, so I really thought I'd screwed up at first. The consistency of the batter is really loose, it doesn't seem right, but it is...Next time I will just use a crepe pan. I loved the subtle sweetness of these cakes! Made them while camping. Thanks for another winner Jessica!
