Grandma Esther's Swedish Pancakes Recipe

The Original Grandma Esther Dahlstom's recipe for Swedish Pancakes (Pannkakor)


Directions

  1. Mix eggs, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  2. Add the melted butter, then the milk, a little at the time, and whisk to a smooth batter. The batter will be very thin (almost like for crêpes). Refrigerate overnight for best results.
  3. In a hot skillet or round griddle (preferably cast-iron), add one teaspoon butter and just as much batter to cover the bottom (turn the skillet around to spread the batter). Fry the pancakes golden brown on both sides. Add more butter for each new pancake.
  4. Roll or stack them on a serving plate. Keep warm.
  5. Serve hot, preferably with whipped cream and jam.

Another Swedish Meatball or Köttbullar Recipe


Swedish Meatballs or Köttbullar
 Unlike the large meatballs in sweet and sour sauce which are often called Swedish; genuine köttbullar  are small meatballs served with alone or with a thin pan gravy and traditionally accompanied by tart, red lingonberries or lingonberry preserves.
Serves 4 to 6; Yields two to three dozen meatballs
  1/3 cup finely-ground plain breadcrumbs
  1/3 cup milk (skim, okay)
  1 small yellow onion
  1 egg (or egg white)
  1 and 1/3 pounds lean ground beef
  1/2 teaspoon salt
  1/8 teaspoon pepper
  1/4 teaspoon allspice
  1 tablespoon butter and  1 tablespoon canola oil  or  cooking oil spray
For pan gravy:
 Butter as needed, up to 1 tablespoon
 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
 1 cup beef stock
Lingonberry preserves, optional (Red currant preserves or whole-berry cranberry sauce can be substituted)
  Soak bread crumbs in milk for 5 to10 minutes until the liquid is  absorbed. Peel and quarter onion. Finely dice onion in a food processor. Add the egg,  meat,  soaked bread crumbs and  seasonings. Pulse  until thoroughly blended.
  Shape meat mixture into small balls, less than an inch in diameter; if the mixture sticks to your hands, wet them with cold water. Heat the frying pan and add butter and oil. Saute meatballs in 2 or 3 batches, shaking pan frequently to keep meatballs from sticking. Drain on paper towels  and keep warm.
   Alternatively, meatballs can be placed on a greased or non-stick broiler pan or rimmed cookie sheet. Broil for several minutes, then drain on paper towels. Use another, deeper pan for gravy.
   To make the pan gravy,  scrape off and discard any browned bits of meat that may be sticking to pan after the meatballs are done. (If less than 1 Tablespoon fat remaining in pan, add butter to compensate.) Add the flour, stirring with a fork until brown. Quickly add stock and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a fork or whisk, until gravy thickens. Remove from heat and serve immediately with the meatballs.
