Norwegian Pancakes (Pannekaker)

If you've never had Norwegian pancakes, they are somewhere in-between crepes and traditional American pancakes texture-wise. They are soft and light with a lacy exterior and go great with butter, powdered sugar, jams, or even savory options. I love making them for brunch parties or lazy Sunday mornings!

Ingredients

1 cup - all-purpose flour
¼ tsp - table salt
2 teaspoons - sugar
2 - eggs
1 ½ cups - whole milk
2 tablespoons - unsalted butter
1 tsp - vanilla extract
Berries
lemon slices
butter
powdered sugar

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the eggs, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk just until the mixture is combined. Let the batter sit for 15-30 minutes.
Melt a small pat of butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat***. Pour in about 1/4 cup of batter, and swirl it until you have a thin, round pancake.
Cook the pancake until the bottom is golden brown and the top is set and has a few bubbles, about 30-60 seconds. Flip and cook until the other side is set and golden brown, another 30-60 seconds.
Repeat with the remaining batter. You can place the pancakes on a sheet pan in a warm oven (the lowest setting) to keep them hot while you cook.
Serve the finished pancakes with your toppings of choice. Enjoy!
