Swedish Pancakes
"The French call them crepes, and the Swedes call them perfect for rolling, folding, filling, or topping for anytime from breakfast and brunch through dessert. These pancakes are thin, so they're easy to stack, roll, or fold - and they're good topped with maple or pancake syrup, canned pie filling, fresh or canned fruit, or even ice cream and chocolate or fruit sauce. Served plain or fancied-up, these are perfect for anytime you want something light and special. Posted for ZWT 6."

ingredients
directions
- Place all the ingredients except the butter in a blender. Blend just enough to combine the ingredients (don't overmix).
- In a large nonstick skillet or on a griddle, melt some butter over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet, cooking several pancakes at one time, but not overcrowding them. Flip the pancakes when the edges look like golden lace. Cook for just a bit longer, until the second side of the pancakes turn golden. (These don't take long to cook because the batter is thinner than regular pancake batter.).
- Repeat until all batter is used, adding the remaining butter to the pan as needed.

These turned out well, though, I don't know if I made them big enough. I halved the recipe and still made a ton of these - ( 15+)! I used my griddle and they cooked up nicely. I'll make these again (perfect for a brunch!) I served them with recipe#235227 and they were scrumptious together. Thanks for sharing, Jackie! Made for ZWT.

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
