norwegian pancakes

Every family in Norway has their own method of making panekakker. They're all very similar, but vary slightly in flavorings, thickness, etc. Norwegian pancakes are a little like crepes, but slightly eggier, and like crepes can be served with sweet or savory accompaniments. They're actually served most often for supper, but in the United States my mother discovered that pancakes were "breakfast food," so she started serving them to all the neighborhood kids who would flock over if the alarm went around that Norwegian pancakes were on the menu on lucky weekend mornings. Traditionally they're accompanied by jam, or berries, or sugar and lemon juice. But, my favorite toppings are either honeyed ricotta or sour cream and jam. I've listed both. - fiveandspice
