My Norwegian grandmother made these pancakes for us as a treat, and they continue to be a favorite when my mother makes them for my kids. They’re very easy and versatile — serve them rolled like crêpes with syrup or jam. Or serve them for dessert stuffed with sweetened cream cheese and lingonberry jam.

Pannekaken (Norwegian Pancakes)
My Norwegian grandmother made these pancakes for us as a treat, and they continue to be a favorite when my mother makes them for my kids.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Combine milk and eggs in a blender; add flour, sugar, and salt and blend until smooth.
- Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Scoop about 1/4 cup batter into the skillet, and tilt the pan until the batter coats the bottom. Cook until the top looks dry, about 30 seconds. Carefully slide a spatula under the pancake and flip. Cook just until browned on the other side, about 3 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
