This Swedish pancake recipe is almost exactly like the one I grew up enjoying. My mom's side of the family has a Scandinavian heritage and she would serve these to us with syrup or homemade jam just as her mom did. As kids we called them skinny pancakes—because they are! I hope you make them this weekend...I'm sure you'll love them.

This is a traditional recipe handed down to me by my boyfriend’s mom. The trick with these is to have a good flat skillet and keep a solid eye on the pancakes as they cook. Traditionally they’re served where the cakes are rolled.
