Flenjes Thin Filled Pancakes Recipes

FINNISH PANCAKES

Steps:

• Pour milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until slightly warm, 20 to 30 seconds. Whisk in butter. Whisk in eggs. Add flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt; blend briefly with an immersion blender to make a smooth batter.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bottom is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

THIN AND LACY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in a large bowl until combined. Add the flour, sugar and salt; whisk until the batter is smooth, with no lumps.
• Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with butter. Add 1/4 cup batter; swirl the skillet to coat the bottom with a thin layer of the batter. Cook until set on top and lightly browned around the edge, about 1 1/2 minutes. Gently lift and flip the pancake with a rubber spatula; cook until just browned on the other side, about 15 more seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter (do not brush the skillet with more butter). Fold into quarters and serve with butter and syrup or jam.

FLENJES (THIN FILLED PANCAKES)

Steps:

• Sieve the flour and salt into a basin, and make a well in the center.

• Pour the egg-milk mixture into the flour gradually, and beat to make a smooth batter.
• Grease a 5-inch frying pan with a little butter.
• Heat the pan until the fat shows a faint blue haze.
• Pour in enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan.
• Allow the pancake to brown on the underside; turn over with a spatula and brown the second side slightly.
• Remove to greaseproof paper.
• Make the rest of the pancakes the same way.
• When the pancakes are cold you can spread all except one with strawberry jam and whipped cream.
• Keep enough whipped cream to decorate the top one.
