NORWEGIAN PANCAKES - PANNEKAKEN

Steps:

• Combine the eggs and milk in the container of a blender. Add the flour, salt and sugar, and blend until smooth.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with cooking spray or butter. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, and tilt the pan to coat the bottom. Cook until the top looks dry, about 30 seconds. Carefully slide a spatula under the pancake and flip. Cook for a few seconds on the other side, just until browned. Remove to a plate, and repeat with remaining batter.

TRADITIONAL NORWEGIAN PANCAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk together milk and flour with a wire whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
• Add sugar, salt, and vanilla, and whisk into the batter.
• Add the eggs, and whisk only until blended together.
• Let sit for 20 minutes.
• Mix in melted butter.
• To fry, heat skillet over medium heat until hot enough for a pat of butter to sizzle. Swirl the butter around in the skillet.
• Pour a small amount of batter in the center of the skillet, then quickly tilt it to all sides until it covers as much of the bottom as possible. Keep tilting until it won't spread out anymore.
• Let the pancake fry over medium heat until browned underneath, flip, then brown on the other side as well. It should take less than a minute to fry each side.
• Remove from skillet and keep warm on a plate covered with a towel.
• Repeat with remaining batter, adding pancakes to the plate to form a stack.
• Adjust the amount of batter as needed as you fry more pancakes. The pancakes should be very thin.

PERFECT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt together in a bowl. Using the whisk, make a well in the center. Pour the buttermilk into the well and crack eggs into buttermilk. Pour the melted butter into the mixture. Starting in the center, whisk everything together, moving towards the outside of the bowl, until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overbeat (lumps are fine). The batter can be refrigerated for up to one hour.
• Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet, preferably cast-iron, over low heat for about 5 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Turn heat up to medium-low and using a measuring cup, ladle 1/3 cup batter into the skillet. If you are using a large skillet or a griddle, repeat once or twice, taking care not to crowd the cooking surface.
• Flip pancakes after bubbles rise to surface and bottoms brown, about 2 to 4 minutes. Cook until the other sides are lightly browned. Remove pancakes to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet, and keep in heated oven until all the batter is cooked and you are ready to serve.

NORWEGIAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together well the sugar, eggs, salt, milk, and flour in a large bowl until there are almost no lumps.
• Heat a medium-sized nonstick skillet or a crepe pan (sprayed first with nonstick spray) to medium-low.
• Pour a THIN layer of batter into the skillet, about 1/4 cup or so- it should be just enough batter to coat the bottom of your pan.
• Swirl the pan to coat pan evenly with the batter.
• Carefully but quickly flip the pancake as soon it looks like it has started to very lightly brown and has begun to bubble.
• Once flipped, the second side only takes a few more seconds to cook- remove quickly to a plate.
• Immediately spread pancake with a small amount of butter and about 1/2 tsp of jelly or to taste (do not overfill with either or it will get soggy and too sweet).
• Roll up into a tube, jelly-roll style and serve.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Note: If possible, assign a helper to spread the butter& jam onto the cooked pancakes as they come out of the pan.
• You may need to re-whisk the batter between each pancake as it may settle.
• Also, I sometimes need to add a fresh spray of nonstick spray to the pan between pancakes.
