Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted) or oil for cooking
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional for serving)
- as needed Jam, syrup, or powdered sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk. Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue until you have a smooth, runny batter.
Stir in the melted butter to the batter, mixing until fully incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and quickly swirl to coat the bottom with a thin layer. Adjust the amount depending on the size of your pan.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to crisp and the bottom is golden brown.
Gently flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until cooked through.
Remove the pancake from the pan and keep warm on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly as needed.
Serve warm with butter, jam, syrup, or powdered sugar. You can also roll them up with your favorite fillings for a traditional Norwegian touch.
