I grew up on these. My father was a native Norwegian and my mother made the just like this except there is one crucial ingredient missing. Salt pork. She would cut salt pork into 1/4 inch squares checkerboard style. Then she would saute the pieces to render the fat. This gives up some tasty crispies. Save the fat and crispies separately and put a little fat in the pan before adding the batter. Sprinkle a few crispies on top followed by a few drops of the fat and then continue as the recipe says. Oh the memories. Thanks In-Da-Wings.

Love this recipe, I’ve been using it for years. I sometimes add a little vanilla at my daughter’s request
Danielle Nichols
This reminded of when I was a kid. Good times

My boys love these. I’ve add some vanilla and cinnamon to it.

Those pancakes were delicious! Iv’e been searching for the best pancake/crepe recipe. Everyone ate them as soon as they were on the table!
Angela Whitaker
I had to add a little extra batter per pancake, but other than that, this was a great recipe!
Danny Ruiz
Made it as is and loved it. The kids especially enjoy this with whipped cream and strawberries.

I didn’t make any changes, as I have been trying out different crepe recipes, and want to try them as written before making any changes. These are a very good base for savory or sweet. We did a sausage, cream, curry, garlic and onion to go into the crepe the first time. Everyone liked it! Yum!! The second one I just loaded with a bit of butter and mocha-chocolate chips and warmed up slowly…This was also received well!!!

I wound up making a third of the recipe instead and it was delicious with lemon and sugar. Perhaps it could do with a little vanilla but that isn’t necessary. The entire recipe is about 860 calories- divided by 6 is 143; so, it’ll definitely do you some good to add fresh fruit and perhaps some creme.

I make this recipe as written regularly per the kids’ request. I have two smaller non-stick frying pans going at the same time to cook them. Once you get the temperature right, they cook quickly. I don’t use too much butter when cooking, it prevents the great golden brown bubbles from forming. We put bringebærsyltetøy and butter & sugar on them. YUM!
Christina Butler
yummy

Easy recipe to make! I found it took a little trial and error to find the right temp. to make them. I smeared oil/butter in the pan with a brush in between each pancake even though I was using a non-stick pan. I did make a batch adding 1/4 tsp cardamon, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla to the batter which I really liked.
Gabriel Montoya
I love this recipe. I always look for recipes with a family story, it makes me feel like I know you! I make these weekly for my family and friends, fill them with fruit and yogurt.
Michael Rice
These are my kids favorite pancakes now!
Tracey Griffin DDS
Delicious and so easy! Took less than 20 minutes from start to finish. I reduced the amount of servings to 4. I remember making these with my sister’s when we were little. We filled them with homemade blueberry jam then sifted a little powdered sugar on top. Took me right back to my childhood!
Daniel Lopez
Liten smak av hjem! Kjempe god! Or taste just like home, really good recipe!
Rebecca Herrera
These are so much fun to make! So simple and versatile, I can’t believe I hadn’t tried these before!
Clifford Martinez
Love it!! Super easy and the whole family loves them!
Jeffrey Byrd
It is a great basic recipe, but you must have CARDAMOM before you can call it a NORWEGIAN pancake! I add 1 tsp ground cardamom to this basic recipe, and then spread with raspberry or boysenberry jam to make it perfect!
