Today I made some Swiss Pancakes, just like my mother made me when I was a boy, and like her mother made for her when she was a girl.
They are not "pancakes" in the conventional [buttermilk] sense, they are more like crepes. But, the French already have a copyright on that I think. They are pancakes in the sense that they are cooked in a hot pan. They are very thin, and we would always just put a thin layer of jam or jelly on the inside and sort of roll them up to eat them. Pretty good stuff! Here's the recipe, enjoy!
Swiss Pancakes
Mix liquid ingredients, and sprinkle in flour while stirring, a bit at a time so it doesn't get too lumpy. A few little lumps are OK.
Heat pan on medium heat and spray on some olive oil or canola oil - just a small amount. The pan doesn't have to be really really hot, medium heat works best.
Use a ladle to scoop up some batter and drop it in the middle of the pan. Using a spatula, spread the mix out starting from the center, and try to keep it in a mostly circular pattern. Keep spreading the batter out from the edges until there isn't any more batter to spread. Let it cook for a few seconds to a minute, then turn it over and cook it for a minute on the other side.
Serve warm, with jam or jelly. Makes enough for 3 hungry pancake eaters.
