This Swedish pancakes recipe was taught to my father by his mother, who was born in Sweden. My father then passed this authentic recipe to me. Kids love them, and there are never any leftovers when I make them. Spoon melted butter over the pancakes and sprinkle with sugar or serve with lingonberry sauce. The pancakes can be made into larger cakes; however, the yield will be smaller. You can also use the batter to make crepes.
