Swedish Pancakes

A long time favorite in my family.

2 1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. butter, melted (can reduce this to 3/8 c. with no problem)
4 eggs well beaten
1 c. flour
2 T sugar
1/2 t. salt

Mix milk, butter and eggs together in a large bowl. Add in flour, sugar and salt. Beat together until smooth.

Pour mixture by 1/3 cupfuls into heated, greased skillet. Cook on one side until browned. Carefully flip over and brown other side. Serve with butter, powdered sugar, jam, applesauce or, of course, lingonberries. Best served warm.

Pumpkin Corn Bread


Here is the easy version!

2 packages of Jiffy Mix corn bread mix
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 15-ounce can pumpkin
2 Tablespoons honey
3 eggs
2/3 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit,  Heat a small amount of butter, about 1 tsp, in a cast iron skillet.   Lightly whisk the pumpkin pie spice into the Jiffy mixes in a large bowl.  Whisk together the pumpkin, honey, eggs and milk.  Gently stir into the dry ingredients until just mixed.  Pour into the hot skillet.  Put in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.
