Lazy Crepes

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a picture and just a few words.

That was dinner last night…a back-up meal because I didn’t end up having time to roast a chicken.

When I was a kid, we called them Swedish pancakes, though I have no idea how authentically Swedish they are.

At any rate, they’re like a thick crepe, except you just dump the batter onto a griddle, slice it, flip the pieces, and then you’ve got rectangular crepe-like pancakes.

Easy and fast!

(The wooden spoon plugs the grease drain hole. The batter tends to drip down there unless you plug it up with something, and the wooden spoon is the perfect size.)

Edit: due to requests, I posted the recipe! You can find it right here.

Swedish pancakes...memories of my 1950s childhood made by my mother whose family came from Sweden. Light and delicious with real maple syrup. Thanks for the memory!

I love this idea, but don't have a girddle. Do you think I could use a shallow tray in a hot oven? Otherwise, it's back to the crepe factory line and making one at a time ;-)

I'm not sure! I suppose that would work, except you'd have to take it out to flip 'em. Let us know if you try!

Hey! I'm from Sweden, swedish pancakes are thinner and the batter is made from just flour, eggs, milk and salt. We eat ours with whipped cream and jam or sugar. Sometimes with icecream... :) my kids love both american and swedish pancakes.

Yeah, that sounds like my batter, except this has a little bit of sugar in it too.
