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. :)

German Pancakes...Like you've never had them!!!

Seriously, these are yummy without anything on them! I tried them for breakfast on New Year's Day, YUM! Sorry, I didn't take a picture, but they look like your typical GPs but thicker and browned a little more from the butter. So, here it goes...
1/2 cup butter
3 cups milk
1 1/2 cups flour
2/3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 400°F. Put butter in a glass cake pan. Place in oven for 5 minutes, until butter is melted and bubbles. While butter is melting, put milk, flour, sugar, eggs and salt into blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth. Remove pan from oven and adjust heat to 450°F. Immediately pour mixture into pan and return pan to oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and bake 8 to 10 minutes more until edges are puffed and browned. Serve with strawberries, powdered sugar, syrup, or any of your favorite toppings.

Crepes

1 1/2 cup flour
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 dash salt
2 eggs beaten well
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp melted butter

Beat all ingredients on high until smooth. It will seem a little runny but it's right...

Pour into a shallow skillet and kind of swirl the batter around until thinned out in pan. Bake on each side until done and serve with either cinnamon & sugar with butter or with fruit and cream. Delicious!!!
