Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 2⁄3; cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon honey , plus more for serving
• 3 tablespoons butter , melted, plus butter for cooking

Directions:

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. 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. 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. 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!

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!
