Swedish Pancakes

I love Swedish pancakes. For me they are the ultimate comfort food. Can I name one single dinner recipe that we used to eat growing up? I sure can. Swedish Pancakes. Usually we'd eat them when mom was tired and exhausted.

I love that they are not as filling as most pancakes.
I love their flexibility: fruit in the middle, syrup, anything you like. Dress them up, dress them down.

When I'm making or eating Swedish pancakes I am back at home, young, standing on the heat grate next to the oven waiting for the moment when the top is solid enough that the pancake is flippable. That eggy goodness fills my nostrils and I'm transported to a safe, sweet place.

Recipe:

Swedish Pancakes
1 1/4 cup milk
3 eggs
3/4 cup of flower
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt

Beat the eggs and milk together.
Mix the rest in.
I prefer it over medium heat with more butter than most doctors recommend.
