  1. These were great! I did have to add a little water after letting them sit for an hour so the pancakes wouldn't be too thick, but all was well and we loved them!

  2. What a great breakfast. I followed the recipe exactly as written and made no ingredient or cooking adjustments, and it worked out great. For easy preparation, I stuffed a bit of jam in the center and folded each Swedish Pancake in half (instead of rolling), and they were so good. The kids liked a dollop of whipped cream on top, but they're so good even without that added touch. It's a really easy recipe to make, too. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Bayhill. We loved them!

  3. I loved these crepes. I did reduce the sugar somewhat but otherwise made them as directed. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. Great pancakes!!! These are very thin crepe-like pancakes although not so eggy and wonderful with the fresh sweetened strawberries and whipped cream that I had on mine!! I don't think I have made a pancake recipe that calls for it to sit for an hour, but I did so and it was a little foamy until I then mixed it up again. Served these with some sausage patties for a wonderful brunch!! Thanks for sharing the recipe and congrats again on your football win!!!
     
  5. I am not the worlds best pancake maker, so I took a previous reviewers idea, and mixed the batter in a blender, that worked out well. Ended up with light, fluffy pancakes, that we really enjoyed. Used one of my Applesauce apple butter recipes for these. Served these with some cooked apple slices, and ended up with 16 (8 inch) pancakes that made for an enjoyable breakfast. Tagged and made for your win in Football Pool.

Tweaks

  1. These were excellent! These were very rich and filling and taste good with everything. I subbed whole wheat flour for regular flour and soymilk for milk. We ate these with blackberry preserves, whipped cream, powdered sugar, butter and some other things. Enjoyed by all and definitely a keeper. Made for ZWT6 Family Picks.
