Dad's Swedish Pancakes

Dad's Swedish Pancakes



This Swedish pancake recipe comes from Grandma Ferrel (Laurel), who learned it from her mother (Elva) who was Swedish.  Elva's family left Sweden and she came to the United States in her mothers belly and was born in Salt Lake City, UT.   Her name Elva, means 11 in Swedish, because she was the 11th child.  My children love daddy's Swedish pancakes and I love to watch them enjoy a little bit of his family heritage.  


Swedish Pancakes

3 eggs

2 cups milk

1 cup flour

First, put the flour in the bowl.  Fluff flour with the whisk.  Then add the milk and mix the flour and milk with the whisk.  Then add the eggs and mix with the whisk.  Add cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla to taste if desired.  Use a good quality nonstick pan and smooth surface, put non-stick spray if needed.  Place the pan on the stove top at medium heat.  Pour pancake batter until the batter goes to the edges of the pan.  Cook until the top is dry or close to dry.  Then flip.  If the pancake is too brown when you flip it, you will know the heat is too high.  

Dad usually makes 3 batches, (so triple the amount above).  He said each batch makes about 6 Swedish Pancakes.

Top with fresh berries, cut bananas, Nutella, whip cream, powdered sugar and syrup!

    I love these! Similar to crepes, but better. I like to buy lingonberry jam and put it on top. Or, even better, I take the jam and mix it with fresh butter to make a consistency similar to honey butter, but better because it's tart and sweet little berries. :)

Salmon Tacos with Cilantro Lime Dressing

Image
 I love Mexican food.  I'm pretty sure if I had to choose one cuisine to eat for the rest of my life it would be Mexican.  These tacos were born from necessity and my love of tacos.  My family has downsized from 6 people to 4 people as my oldest children have moved out to go to college. When I make a whole Costco Salmon, I now have enough leftovers for another meal!  Not wanting this delicious salmon to go to waste, I incorporated it into tacos the next day and everyone absolutely loved them!   Photo credit: https://www.eatyourselfskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/cilantro-lime-tacos-2.jpg Here are the ingredients for the tacos: Lemon pepper dill salmon - I make this the day before for a meal and then use the leftovers for these tacos.  Flake and fry the salmon in a frying pan on medium heat until it gets a little crispy.  You don't need to add oil because the salmon has a lot of natural oil in it.  You're just warming up the salmon,...

Rosemary Focaccia Bread

My family's favorite bread recipe!  It is so delicious, when it is cooking, the smell spreads through the house calling everyone to the kitchen.  The best part is that it's super easy to make!  That is why I put it in this blog.  Only favorite recipes are allowed in this blog, and part of being a favorite is that it isn't so painful to make again and again.  My friend Mina gave me this recipe and made it with me to show me how it's done.  I will forever be grateful for her.  She is an amazing cook and friend.   Rosemary Focaccia Bread First, Grab a large mixing bowl.  Then turn your tap on to the hottest setting and let the water get as hot it can.  Put 2 cups of hot tap water into the bowl.   Dissolve 2 Tbs. of honey into the warm water.   Add 1 Tbs. of yeast and stir it into the water/honey mixture.  Set it aside.  If you're really interested in watching the yeast grow, you can stare at it, 'cause I'm...

Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw

 You can't have too many tacos!  When your main dish can be made into tacos the next day, you do it!  I made my Hawaiian meal with Kalua pork, rice and pineapple slaw and reconfigured it into tacos the next day and everyone loved them! I need to take a better picture, but these had great flavor and might've been better than the original meal.                                             Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Slaw Kalua Pork  - Use the leftovers and fry it in a pan until it gets crispy in places.  There is enough oil in the pork, just heat the pan up and let it crisp. Pineapple Slaw - It tastes great the day after.  I used leftovers from the night before. Corn cut off the cobb- I fried the corn in a pan and added cilantro.  It was amazing! Corn tortillas- I fry them in a little oil on high until slightly browned. Cotija or Feta cheese (...
