DANISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat up a pan and add a tablespoon of butter.
• The first pancake you make always fails - to much delight of the one who can not wait to taste. So don't worry about that. Its simply just because the pan often is not hot enough.
• Place a blob of the batter on the pan with the melted butter.
• Now you tilt and swivel the pan so the entire pan is covered with a thin layer of dough.
• When the dough is stiffened/baked on the surface (about 2-3 min.) and light brown at the edges, you flip it over with a spatula.
• Bake it for additional 1/2-1 min. on the other side.

CREPES OR DANISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• First I helped my Dad collect all the ingredients because he said I was his sous chef.
• Then it is time to crack the 2 eggs into the small bowl, which he taught me how to do about 2 months ago.
• Now, for a little taste in the eggs you add a pinch of salt or ⅛ teaspoon of salt with the measuring spoon. Then I mixed, with a whisk, the salt and the eggs to make it fully yellow.
• Next, my favorite part is to add the flour but it you add too much it tastes not good at all. So to put the exact amount of flour in all you do is just get a regular scoop of flour. Then you get a dinner knife, turn it over so instead of the sharp part being down, it is up and you just move it a cross the measuring cup to even out the flour.
• Next, I added a bit of flour, then mixed it in with the egg and salt. Then do it again and again until there is no more flour. It will be pretty lumpy at first but it is fine.
• Now it is time to get rid of the lumps, so that is where the milk comes in. You do the same thing you did with the flour, you start with a little bit of milk and mix it in, then you add some more and mix it in, and more over and over again until the milk is gone.It should be pretty smooth, without any bumps.
• If you don't have time to make the batter in the morning, make some the night before then put some saran wrap over the bowl and refrigerate it. You can also make the actual crepes but they taste a lot better fresh.
• Now get the small 8-inch pan and put it on the stove and put the stove on medium heat (all stoves have low, medium, and high). Now to tell that the pan is ready, flick a tiny bit of water and if it evaporates right away it is ready.
• Put only enough batter to fill the pan because too much batter makes them thick and it doesn't work, but too little makes it rip. So just enough. The batter will start turning golden brown really quickly so don't walk away! The first time you flip it, it will tear or fold over and it will be a mess but keep trying and it will get a lot better.
• Keep it in the pan for another 10 - 20 seconds then put it on a plate, put some jam or fruit inside, roll it up, put sugar on top and eat it. Yum! My favorite is strawberries with chocolate sauce. Make another and serve to someone and see how they like it and keep making them again and again! By the way this recipe can be doubled or tripled and it would work!

DANISH PANCAKES / CREPES

Steps:

• Add all ingredients (except oil) to a bowl and mix well until all clumps are gone.
• Let sit for 20 minutes (this step can be omitted if you are short of time).
• Add a bit of oil to a non-stick skillet and heat until medium warm.
• Tilt the pan approx 90 degrees and pour batter from the top. The batter wil run down and fill the pan. You can also pour the batter in the middle of the pan and quickly make cirkeling motions to distribute the batter all over the pan. The goal is to have as thin a batter layer as possible.
• Cook until the pancake is a bit stiff and flip over, cook for another 1 minute The pancake should be light brown on both sides.
• Remove and repeat.

DANISH STYLE CREPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Cut stick of butter in half and place each half in two round aluminum pie-baking tins. 3. When oven has reached 400 degrees, put pie tins on center rack. 4. In blender, stir four eggs slowly add whole milk. The batter should have the color of a ripe lemon. Slowly sprinkle in white flour and whole wheat flour. Finish off batter on "liquefy" for 30 seconds. 5. Pour 1/2 of batter in each hot pie pan. Make sure you distribute the boiling butter evenly in the pan. 6. Bake for 20 minutes, but check on them at 15 minutes. 7. Let the pancakes cool enough so that you can get a spatula under them without tearing them apart. 8. Squeeze fresh lemon over the pancakes and sprinkle with powdered sugar. 9. You can prepare a saute of apples, granulated sugar, and raisins, in butter, to spread on top -- if you like.

AEBLESKIVER (DANISH PANCAKES)

Steps:

• Stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a large bowl; mix in the egg, milk, butter, and vanilla until just combined.
• Heat an aebleskiver pan over medium heat; prepare with cooking spray.
• Pour the batter into each cup to about 2/3 full. Allow the batter to cook in the bottom of the cup 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown. Don't forget which cup you placed the batter in first, it's all about rotation! Use a long skewer or knitting needle to lift one edge and give it a 1/4 turn. The uncooked batter will spill over into the cup, and cook. Continue lifting and turning the edges until the batter is fully cooked into a golden brown ball. Drain on paper towels.
