Swedish Pancakes

These are so versatile; I often use them like crepes and fill them with fruit, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, flavorings and serve for brunch. Very tender, very simple to make. I have cooked for over 45 years and many of my recipes are from my imagination; this is one of those. With a little experientation, you can probably improve on this recipe.

7. At this time, can be served with butter/jam or syrup.

10. Add 1 egg, beat in and add extra desired flavoring.
11. Then add 1 cup cottage or ricotta cheese; heat through, but don't boil.
