Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Butter (for cooking)
- Margarine (optional)
- Jelly (preferably raspberry or blackberry)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, salt, milk, and all-purpose flour until the mixture is smooth and there are almost no lumps.
-
Heat the Skillet:
- Heat a medium-sized nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium-low heat. You may spray the pan with nonstick spray for easier cooking.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour a thin layer of batter into the skillet, using about 1/4 cup per pancake. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with batter.
-
Flip and Cook:
- Once the edges of the pancake start to lightly brown and bubbles form on the surface, carefully but quickly flip the pancake using a spatula.
-
Add Fillings:
- Immediately after flipping, spread a small amount of butter over the pancake, followed by about 1/2 teaspoon of jelly (adjust to taste). Avoid overfilling to prevent sogginess.
-
Roll and Serve:
- Roll up the pancake into a tube, jelly-roll style, and transfer it to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
-
Additional Tips:
- If available, assign a helper to spread the butter and jam onto the cooked pancakes as they come out of the pan.
- It’s recommended to whisk the batter between each pancake as it may settle over time.
- You may need to spray the pan with nonstick spray between batches to prevent sticking.
These Norwegian Pancakes are best served warm and fresh from the skillet, offering a delightful blend of sweetness and lightness that’s sure to make them a favorite among your family and guests. Enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, or as a special treat any time of day! 🥞🍓
