Real Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor)

André Grisell's Note:

This is how we make them here in Sweden. My mother always does them this way, and in every other Swedish family I have visited. The other recipes I have seen here have little resemblance with the original.

Excellent recipe, just like I have always made them. You didn't mention that the traditional way to serve them is sprinkled with granulated sugar MM they melt in your mouth. I would diagree that the other recipes on Zaar do not resemble the original. Every country and every recipe has many variations and some of the others are very good too. I have cut back the luxury of frying them in butter (it is best) and I have cut out the whipped cream too. Love to serve them with fresh berries and lite sour cream. My guests thank you Andre as do I

In defense of Andre's recipe....this was the second recipe that I tried this morning to satisfy my swedish husband's craving for Swedish Pancakes. The first recipe, even I knew, was completely off. They weren't thin rather slightly puffy. My husband looked at them and said, "Nope". I then found Andre's recipe on the internet. After tasting them, my husband said , "Bingo!"

Well, I must say that I too am from sweden and in the south we have a differnt way of making them. We add the butter to the batter along with suger, more of a crepe style we also add a little nutmeg or allspice. Still use the berries on top.Served with some thick sliced bacon.You are not making consideration for regional differences.
