Pippi’s Pancakes | Pippi Longstockings
Does anyone else feel like it’s like – goodbye Halloween, hello Christmas, yes Easter, I see you right around the corner there! Sometimes I feel like each year becomes more and more rushed, and flies by even quicker. When I was little my parents would tell me everything seemed to move quicker as you get older, but now I’m not so sure it’s being older that does it. I think a big part is giving ourselves permission to set down the to-do list, stop looking forward at what needs to be done, what we need to prepare for, and just enjoy where we are now. Even if for a minute, otherwise we’ve rushed past and missed the small things.

- Over medium heat, butter the frying pan and let the pan warm up.

Great idea – – enjoy! 🙂
If you really want to make the kind of pancakes Pippi did you should make swedish pankakor. Easy recipe, about 2 dl flour, 6 dl milk, 2-3 eggs and a pinch of salt. Whisk some of the milk with the flour + the salt, make sure there are no lumps. Pour in the rest of the milk and then the eggs- one at a time and whisk inbetween. Let the batter rest about 30 min in the fridge.
The tricky part is the cooking. It helps if you melt a few tblspoons of butter and pour it in to the batter. Then use a small amount of butter in your pan if you need to.
Make the pancakes thin and try to flip them in the air. Serve with jam and whipped cream or ice cream.
