Swedish Pancakes ie Crepes

I just had these crepes at Charlotte's (sister-in-law) yesterday and they were divine!


7 eggs
1/4 cup sugar (optional)
2 tsp. salt
1 cube of butter
5 c. flour
5 c. milk
approximately 2 c. of ice cold water

In large sauce pan put in eggs, sugar, salt and butter . . . with electric hand mixer beat everything together . . . add 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of milk - beat until blended . . . add another cup of flour and milk and continue process until you have mixed all cups of flour and milk, then make sure batter is mixed well. Take batter and strain it to take out any lumps. After pour batter into empty 1 gallon plastic milk jub. Now add water to desired consistency. When you pour batter on pan the consistency should be like whole milk, if pancake separates when poured on pan too much water - you screwed up - lesson learned - try again.

Serve with fresh or frozen strawberries that have been thawed and slightly sweetened and add whipped cream. Yum! OK, almost anything would taste good on these!

Apparently, it is the tradition in one family to have these made by the Man of the house. :)
