GRANDMA'S SWEDISH THIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine eggs, milk and oil in a 2-quart mixing bowl.
• Mix well with wire whisk.
• In small bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
• Mix well.
• Using wire whisk, mix flour mixture into egg mixture.
• Let rest for about 10-15 minutes.
• Lightly grease skillet. I like to use a non-stick saute pan. My husband uses a cast iron skillet. I think both work fine.
• Preheat skillet over medium high heat.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto hot skillet.
• With a circular wrist motion, swirl pan until batter is evenly covering bottom of pan.
• Cook until edges just start to brown.
• Carefully flip pancake over with a thin spatula. (I like to use a wide one).
• Cook turned crêpe about 20 seconds or until lightly browned.
• Slide onto plate to cool.
• Continue cooking remaining batter using same method.
• Serve hot by spreading with butter and syrup. Or Lingonberry preserves. Or sprinkled with powdered sugar. Then roll up like a crepe and enjoy.
