Swedish Pancakes
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011Swedish pancakes are a fun and delicious tradition from my husband’s childhood that has been passed down to our family. It actually goes back to my father in law’s Scandinavian heritage and something he enjoyed as a child too. If you’re looking for a unique and different way to bring the family around the table in the morning then this is a great place to be. I love having fun celebrations at breakfast since it’s an easy time for the family to get together before all the craziness of the day can take hold of you. If you have never had Swedish pancakes you’re in for a real treat. I had my first experience about five years ago and had to be educated on how to prep your pancake. You start with a thin warm pancake that resembles more of a crepe and add a little lingonberry jam to the middle then squeeze fresh lemon juice all over and roll it up like a burrito finishing it off by sprinkling with powdered sugar. I’m sure you’ll be smitten from the first bite. The combination of all these ingredients comes together in perfect harmony. What s a fun, unique and creative way to start your Valentine’s Day with those you love.
